Important Added Info: Note that this Italian one-panel measures approximately 39" x 55" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and it had defects which were repaired during the linenbacking process (which we describe below, as well as the quality of the restoration, if I thought there was something about the restoration worth commenting on!). You should also look at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). there were many small tears along the foldlines; there was a circular area of paper loss below the middle crossfold around the size of a quarter (it was in the black dot background area); there was a series of small holes in the bottom left corner of the image that form number (in the white background only, and typical of Italian posters of this period); there were very few border defects of any kind. Overall, the poster was very nicely linenbacked, and the fold defects described above are not at all noticeable or distracting. Learn More about condition grades
