What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. Unfortunately, after it was backed, it acquired much paper loss and staining in the bottom of the poster, affecting the excess linen, but the paper loss from the poster itself is all blank white paper, so it certainly could be repaired. But please bear in mind this very significant defect before bidding on this extremely rare poster.
