What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The left 4" and right 4" of the poster were entirely trimmed off, only affecting the solid black background and the tiny text at the bottom. The poster also had paper loss at the middle crossfold, with creases, tears, and some paper loss on parts in the rest of the top half of the vertical fold, with a lesser amount on the other folds. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. A talented restorer did a good job replacing the missing areas at left and right and restoring the image defects, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its substantial restoration and have looked closely at our super-sized image. Learn More about condition grades
