What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). It had a few creases and scuffs around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
