Artist: Toimi Kiviharju Important Added Info: This Finnish poster measures 15 1/2" x 23 1/2" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very 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!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration. The poster had some creases to the right of Caron's face extending upward into the right of her hair and some above the dot of the "i" in the title. There were pinholes in the corners and some tiny tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well.
