The poster had many creases and tears throughout, including a major tear down the center of the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. In addition to this poster's other woes, it was roughly handled after being backed, and it is now "lifting" from the linen in several parts of the borders. Learn More about condition grades
