Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the top two crossfolds. It had paper loss at the bottom crossfold, with small paper loss scattered across the bottom horizontal fold, and a diagonal tear running from the bottom crossfold into the bottom of the "B". There were two small areas of paper loss in the left of the middle fold, one touching the edge of her lip and the other beneath that. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented professional. You can see signs of the above defects and the restoration, but it is not very noticeable at all, except when you look closely at the poster. From any reasonable viewing distance, this really rare poster displays quite well! Learn More about condition grades
