What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at some of the crossfolds, tears and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds, and a 2" tear running from Wynter's neck down into the upper part of her chest. There were some pinholes and smudges around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer painted over some of the solid red and yellow areas to "even them out". It will display well on the new owner's wall, but you can see slight signs of the restoration. Learn More about condition grades
