Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had two evenly spaced horizontal and vertical folds. It had tears and tiny bits of paper loss scattered on parts of some foldlines. There was an extra horizontal fold at a slight diagonal above the bottom horizontal fold. There were some tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster and did slight restoration to the above defects. It is noticeable in all the background areas. I could imagine some collectors displaying this "as is", and others choosing to have it re-backed. Please look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this poster.
