What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). The top 2" and the bottom 1" were folded back at one time and there were many staples around the edges. There was paper loss in the lower right corner that affected the end of the NSS number. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Also, the restorer needed to recreate the end of the NSS number, and they guessed at what was there, and they put a very wrong one in that area ("68/125" instead of "68/320"; see our image). Of course, this could be corrected by any other restorer without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
