Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and minor wear on the folds. It likely once had a large snipe glued over the middle, because there was clear staining in the image below the "O" of the title, running down to Michaels' hair, and also below the right end of the title, running into the man's coat. There was also scuffing and stains in the upper half of Michaels' face and chin at left. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
