What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had some tiny creases and scuffs along parts of most foldlines, with some partial horizontal creases scattered in the right of the poster. It had noticeable scuffs in the bottom center (in the black background area), and possibly those were acquired after it was backed. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
