Artist: James Montgomery Flagg Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster was mounted onto a thin linen with no excess (this was almost surely done soon after it was created). There is an area of water staining in the top left that affects the bottom of the "P", and water staining in the center of the top border. There are some water stains in the middle left, entering the top of the wrench. There are smudges scattered in all the white background areas and in the letters of the title. There are tiny tears around the edges, with creases and tears in the bottom title area, with tiny paper loss (see our image). I feel certain that the new owner of this great poster will immediately have it removed from the old linen and properly backed. This is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the smudges and staining can be removed through chemical means, after which the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
