The poster had water staining in several parts of the middle vertical foldline and some water staining in the top half of the right vertical foldline. There was fairly minor wear on the other folds and in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Also, at some point after the poster was backed, it was roughly handled, and there is a 7" crease in the top center of the poster (starting above the end of the "W" of "HOW" in the title, and extending into the hair of the woman to the right of that). Also, the bottom 3" of the poster was folded over, and there is now a slightly diagonal crease in both the bottom of the background and in the linen itself. Please do not bid on this poster unless you have carefully read the above and have carefully studied our super-sized image. Learn More about condition grades
