An Original Vintage Linenbacked Special Poster (measures 27" x 34 1/4") (Learn More) Has Anybody Seen My Gal, the series of five posters from the 1920s, all featuring John Held Jr. art. We have no idea what these posters were created to promote (it certainly could have been a movie, a stage show, or something else). If anyone knows more about these posters, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: John Held Jr. Condition: good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had scattered creases, scuffs, and some dot water stains. The poster was not that well backed, because you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I would think few collectors would want to display it as it is, without someone performing some additional restoration. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid. At some point after the poster was backed, it became water stained in a small area in the middle of the right border. Learn More about condition grades
