Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had tears, paper loss, and stains on the vertical fold, with a lesser amount on the horizontal folds. It had some pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. After the poster was backed, it was displayed, and it appears to have both darkened and faded, and it also appears to have acquired stains and creases along the top, extending into the top of the image. The poster is in urgent need of re-backing, so bear all this in mind before bidding.
