What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had significant paper loss scattered down the vertical fold, with some paper loss scattered across the horizontal folds. The poster had some tears and paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. A really talented restorer did an excellent job restoring the poster, and it displays pretty well, but in restoring the above defects it was necessary to paint over significant areas of the poster, so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the significant restoration it has had.
