Artist: D. Olere
Important Added Info: Note that this French poster measures 21" x 29 1/2" and is linenbacked.

Condition: very good. 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 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 was folded once horizontally and once vertically. There was a water stain in the horizontal foldline 2" to the left of the crossfold and there were creases and tiny areas of paper loss along both foldlines. There was small paper loss at the center of the top border, and pinholes in the corners. The poster was pretty much backed as is, although the restorer put a new piece of paper in the middle of the top border.
