Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had pretty minor wear on the folds, and it was apparently in quite nice condition when it was found. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and the slightest of restoration was needed, but after it was backed, it was roughly handled, and it acquired two areas of small surface paper loss in the left, a few others scattered throughout, and several creases scattered in the lower right of the image (see our image). Any talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster, but bear this in mind before bidding.
