Artist: Anselmo Ballester
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this poster, and only one in the last 12 years. The buyer of one of those posters had it linenbacked and has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had two folds across the middle, with many creases and scuffs in that area, and a tape stain in the center. It had pinholes, tears, creases, and scuffs around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to 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.
