This either means that the Belgian printer obtained the French printing plates and used that art, or that an unknown Belgian artist re-drew the art in the style of Mascii.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster had two horizontal folds and one vertical one with some creases and scuffs on the foldlines and minor wear in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
