Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss at the middle crossfold and small paper loss at the top crossfold, with some creases, tiny tears, and separation on parts of some foldlines. There were pinholes, tears, and smudges around the edges and some smudges in the white background areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone simply backed the poster on thin linen with very little restoration, and no excess linen. While anyone could certainly frame the poster as is and enjoy it, I would think many collectors would chose to have it removed from the thin backing and properly re-backed.
