What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster originally had a blank top and bottom that were neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster also had some small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of the vertical fold, with some darkening and small tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but after it was backed, it acquired some faint brown stains scattered across the bottom, both in the poster and in the excess linen.
