If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Belgian poster, and that was 11 years ago. That example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had darkened slightly and had minor wear in the foldlines, with tiny paper loss in the vertical fold entering Loy's hair and her temple below that. There was a triangular area of paper loss in the left border, slightly extending into the blue background, and a 1" x 1" area of paper loss in the lower left border extending into Loy's sleeve. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
