Artist: Constantin Belinsky Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had darkened. It had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some tears and small bits of paper loss on parts of some folds, including the one that ran across the center of Davis' face, below her eyes. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed onto a thin linen, and after it was backed, it was roughly handled, and there are now some creases scattered through the poster, including one above Sondergaard's eye, extending into her eyebrow. If I owned this cool poster, I would surely have it removed from the thin linen and have it re-backed with additional restoration performed, but I could also see many buyers choosing to display the poster as is.
