What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some smudges, scuffs, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. It has what may appear to be smudges and scuffs in the man's face, but our consignor tells us that those are part of the original printing, and the restorer left them as is because they are not defects that occurred later. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
