Artist: Frank McCarthy Condition: very good. The poster had minor fold and border wear. The top border was folded over at one time. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the poster is slightly rippled around the edges in the excess linen (likely because the poster was removed from the stretcher a little too soon). It does not affect the poster, and of course, it will not show when the poster is framed. Learn More about condition grades
