If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this French poster measures 23 1/2" x 31" and that it is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). very good. The poster had darkened somewhat (this is mostly noticeable around the edges of the poster). If it has darkened within the image, it happened very evenly, as there is next-to-no sign of discoloration along the foldlines, typical of older French posters. There were some faint stains and a few minute areas of paper loss down the vertical foldline and tiny paper loss at the crossfold. There were several 1/4" to 1/2" tears in the center of the top border. There are some red smudges in the center of the title which are clearly a minor printing defect. There are a few tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster in the blank borders. The person who backed this poster basically backed it "as is", but the poster has only minor defects, and they are not noticeable or distracting and the poster looks quite nice!
