What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases and scuffs on parts of some folds. It had pinholes and smudges around the edges, with paper loss in the top right blank corner. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but it was displayed, and the reds in the poster have faded considerably to a pink color (see our image). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster.
