If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been graded and authenticated by mpgrading.com. This means that a separate 8 1/2" x 11" paper comes with the poster, and that it has been "encrypted with a unique 9-digit serial number with invisible DNA-laced ink" which has been hidden somewhere in an unobtrusive portion of the poster. On the certificate, the poster has been given a grade of "very good - (5) - RG", but of course, that grading scale is not the same as ours (see below). 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 bottom crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. It had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines. It had tears, stains, paper loss, and tape stains in parts of the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above (they likely rightfully assume that most of the border defects would not show when the poster is framed).
