What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, with a slight excess linen around the edges, and it was framed and displayed, and during that time, the reds in the poster faded somewhat. The poster can still be displayed and enjoyed, and many people might not realize about the fading unless they compared it to an unfaded example, but bear this in mind before bidding on this poster.
