If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had a circular hole with a 1/2" diameter in Taylor's upper lip. There were creases along the foldlines, and pinholes in the corners. There were some smudges around the edges of the poster. The poster was well backed, and I doubt anyone would notice the restoration in Taylor's lip unless they stayed intently at that area, and the poster displays well! Learn More about condition grades
