Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had most of its blank white borders trimmed so that it measured 25 1/2" x 40". It also had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and small paper loss in the far left of the top horizontal fold, in the blank white area. It had tiny paper loss on parts of other folds. It once had tape on the back of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone linenbacked the poster without replacing the blank borders, and they did minimal restoration. The poster was displayed in a frame and it now has light rippling around the edges (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
