Note that this poster reuses the Francisque Poulbot art from an earlier printing of a French poster, but because it was not the first time the art was used, the poster designer added "d'apres", to signify that. We are guessing the poster is from the early 1900s, and that the earlier printing would have been from the 1890s, but that is only a guess. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. It appears the poster was never folded. It had a few creases and tears scattered in the image and darkening, pinholes, and a few tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
