NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Artist: Roy Lichtenstein
Important Added Info: Note that this is a special "foil" poster (printed on a fairly heavy paper stock), and it is INCREDIBLY difficult to photograph foil posters (and other reflective surfaces), so know that the unevenness in the image we provide is in the photograph, and is NOT in the poster itself. Also note that this poster measures 20" x 30".

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had many creases around the edges of the poster and some creases and scuffs scattered throughout the poster, but more in the solid black areas. 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.
