This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking 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!). The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and minor wear along the foldlines. There were some creases and scuff lines going through the top and bottom of the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can still see the creases and scuff lines (although they were minimized by linenbacking, and are not very distracting). Learn More about condition grades
