If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that these Italian photobustas measure 13" x 19" and are linenbacked. Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, OR it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, OR it had fairly significant defects that were not restorated at all. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would greatly benefit from additional professional restoration. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Both photobustas had many pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges and some scuffs and stains within the image. Both were backed pretty much as is. Learn More about condition grades
