If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had darkened between the middle and bottom crossfolds, with tiny bits of paper loss scattered in the vertical fold between the top and bottom crossfolds, and a much lesser amount of wear on the other folds. It had tape stains in the top corners and paper loss in the bottom corners. Overall, the poster was in good to 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. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
