Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had paper loss at the top crossfold, with tears and tiny paper loss at the bottom crossfold. It had some tears and tiny paper loss scattered in the vertical fold, with a lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds. It had pinholes, tears, paper loss, and some stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed many years ago, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, and the restorer left no excess linen. While the poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, I could certainly understand someone choosing to have it re-backed. Learn More about condition grades
