If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This Argentinean poster measures approximately 29" x 43" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had separation, small tears, and tiny paper loss along several foldlines, and paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds. All of the blank borders were neatly trimmed off, and the restorer expertly replaced them. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but you can see slight signs of the restoration along the foldlines. Learn More about condition grades
