What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had a slightly diagonal horizontal crease in the upper left running through the middle of the torch extending into the background on both sides, and it had creases and scuffs around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
