If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This Swedish poster measures approximately 27" x 39" and is folded. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had a 10" tear in the upper middle part of the left of the poster. It begins in the left border and runs across to the middle of the cheek of the outlined woman. There were many 1-2" tears down the right border of the poster. There were two tears in the center of the top border. There was an irregular 12" tear starting in the middle right of the bottom border and extending upward slightly diagonally towards the center of the image. The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! You can see signs of the restored tears, but they are not very distracting. Other than the tears, the poster was in pretty nice condition, and I think most people would be happy to display it on their wall. Learn More about condition grades
