Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was tri-folded only, and it had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. Either the poster was not mounted properly, or it was roughly handled after it was backed, because there are now creases near the bottom center of the poster, extending into the white background, and the poster is slightly "lifting" from the linen where the creases are. It is not very distracting, and the poster can still be displayed, but bear in mind these defects before bidding.
