What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds. The borders had darkened somewhat and have some smudges. There are some tiny areas of surface paper loss scattered in the upper center, and perhaps a snipe was once lightly glued to that area in the left and right. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, with no excess linen, and certainly, any talented restorer could touch up the small bits of surface paper loss in the upper part of the poster described above, without re-backing the poster, or one might choose to have the poster re-backed, or also, one might choose to display it as is. Please bear the above in mind before bidding on this poster.
