If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and separation, creases, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some foldlines. It had diagonal creases and scuff marks in the middle left and scuffs in the lower left in the chin and neck of the man. It had pinholes, smudges, stains, and small tears around the edges. There was a V-shaped tear in the dummy's head at upper left. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above. Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
