Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was not folded, but it had some creases and scuffs scattered in the image, including a long slightly diagonal crease that went through Turner's forehead and into the yellow background. It had smudges, stains, tears, and small paper loss around the edges, and smudges in the yellow background areas. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
