Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The blank borders of the poster were slightly trimmed (we have not seen another example of the poster to compare it to, to know exactly how much, but it seems certain that only blank paper was affected). The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some minor wear on the foldlines. There were pinholes and some stains around the edges, with some creases in the bottom center. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
