Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration. The poster was never folded. It was in quite nice condition prior to linenbacking, with only slight border defects (mostly smudges). The poster was backed years ago on to a thin linen, and no excess border around the linen, and over the years, the poster has received many tiny tears around the edges, and it is slightly "lifting" from the linen. Any talented restorer could either re-back the poster, or mend the border defects without re-backing it, and the poster would look incredible! Learn More about condition grades
