Artist: Anselmo Ballester Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Italian poster, with great different art by Anselmo Ballester! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that after the poster was backed, it acquired six small circular brown stains in the bottom of the poster. Four of them are above the producer credit, slightly touching the letters, one is in the excess linen, and one in the actual border of the poster. Any restorer could certainly touch up these stains without re-backing the poster, and they are primarily in the blank areas (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
