What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was printed significantly off register. We don't know if other examples of this poster had the same problem, because we have never auctioned another example, and any movie paper from this title is incredibly rare. Other than being printed off register, the poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a few tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds and in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking (depending on how you value the significant printing defect). The poster was well backed, but the restorer did not address it being printed off register.
