NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this Italian locandina measures approximately 13" x 28" and is linenbacked. Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, or it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, or it had fairly major defects that were not restorated at all. If it was restored, you can see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would greatly benefit from additional professional restoration. See below for its pre-restoration defects (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had many horizontal creases across the center of the poster as well as several horizontal creases in the upper and lower parts of the image area. There were staple holes around the edges of the poster and paper loss on the lower left corner. The person who linenbacked the poster just mounted the poster and left the defects alone. A talented restorer could touch them up without rebacking the poster. Learn More about condition grades
