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 tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases, scuffs, and separation on parts of some foldlines. There were pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the linenbacker did not fully glue the bottom border, and it is slightly "lifting" from the linen in the right of the bottom border, and is slightly rippled in the left of the bottom border. Also, the poster was roughly handled at some point after it was backed, which caused some scuffs in the black background areas at lower left and lower right (I would think another restorer could easily touch up these areas and re-glue the lifted bottom border without re-backing the poster).
