Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this 30x40, and that was 9 years ago. The person who purchased that example had it linenbacked (without restoration) and has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had stains around the edges, with more staining and paper loss in the right blank border. It had some creases and partial folds scattered throughout, with many creases and scuffs in the bottom credits area and a 3" tear near the center of the bottom border. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
