Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and small tears and small paper loss on parts of several folds, with pinholes around the edges. It had an area of paper loss in Taylor's forehead. Overall, the poster was in 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. Certainly, another restorer could perform restoration to the above defects, with or without re-backing the poster, but bear this in mind before bidding on this extremely rare poster.
