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 small paper loss at the top crossfold and pretty minor wear on the folds and in the borders. It had some grease pencil writing on the back of the upper center, and it very slightly bleeds through in the shoulder and arm of the girl at center. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Also, the poster was backed years ago, and it is "lifting" from the linen at the bottom edge. Any restorer could re-attach this without re-backing the poster, or certainly, one could choose to re-back the poster. Learn More about condition grades
