What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was folded by hand, and it had a 13" tear starting in the left border that ran across through one of Lamarr's eyebrows and ended in her hair. It also had pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges, and some creases and smudges in the yellow background. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
