This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded and it had some pinholes, creases, and smudges around the edges, but very few defects within the image area (there were pinholes in the lower part of Astor's hair and a few other very minor defects). The poster was paperbacked by a very talented restorer and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
