What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had pinholes, smudges, stains, tears, and tiny paper loss in the borders, very slightly affecting the image and credits. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed many years go, with no excess. It displays well, but you can see slight signs of the border restoration. Still, the poster will look wonderful on the new owner's wall.
