Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss at the crossfold that fell above the "s" of "Blondes". It had small paper loss at the other crossfolds and creases, tears, and scuffing along parts of many folds, but fortunately very few in Marilyn Monroe's full-length figure. 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.
