What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had paper loss in the bottom right corner, measuring approximately 2" x 4" and extending into the black background and affecting the text at bottom right. It also had a lot of ink transfer in the top half of the right of the poster, to the right of the credits, and slightly entering the right end of the credits. There was noticeable ink transfer to the left of Lom's and Sellers' credit in the background area. There was a lesser amount of ink transfer most of the other solid background areas, and it had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases and tiny bits of paper loss scattered on the folds. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer who backed the poster replaced the missing bottom right corner well, and they performed touch up to the folds, but they left alone all the ink transfer in all the background areas. It is clearly noticeable, and we leave it to the bidders to decide how big a detraction it is (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
