This poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). good to very good. The poster had many creases and small tears at each crossfold. There were two uneven tears going through the face of the woman wearing mannish clothes (two panels below the title). There were extra creases along the foldlines and small tears, smudges, and pinholes around the edges of the poster. The poster was well linenbacked. You can see signs of the defects when looking from inches away, but from any distance, the defects pretty much vanish, and the poster looks quite nice! Learn More about condition grades
