Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Australian daybill, and that was 7 years ago. Also note that, while this poster was printed in Australia, it was specifically made to be used in New Zealand. This was not an uncommon practice and we have seen many examples. These posters often lack the printed rating which can be found on the Australian version of the poster.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had an extra bottom horizontal fold at a slight diagonal above the regular one. It had pretty minor fold and border wear. It was used in New Zealand and there is a New Zealand rating stamp in the lower left blank white area. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
