What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Note that this poster ships in a very long tube (at least 33" long, but possibly 50" long or more). Therefore the shipping for this poster will be more than that for a poster that ships in a tube 32" or shorter, and possibly much more. Please bear this added shipping expense in mind before bidding on this poster. You can tell how long of a tube this poster needs to ship in by looking at the shorter dimension of its length and width and then adding 4" to that (so a 47" x 63" poster will need to ship in a 51" long tube).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny tears, tiny bits of paper loss, and scuffs on parts of some folds, and a tape stain in the center of where the top section joins the bottom section in the red and white area above the "o" of "Jailhouse". There was an extra vertical crease at a slight diagonal down the center of the bottom small section, with some surface paper loss on both of those creases at bottom center. 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. One could certainly choose to accept the defects this poster has and display it as is, or certainly, it could be re-backed, and then the above defects could be corrected during that process. Either will be the choice of the new owner of this very rare poster.
