This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had rough creases across both foldlines with many extra creases, some tiny tears, and some tiny bits of paper loss on both folds. It has paper loss in the far right of the top blank border, extending in a triangle for around 9", but only blank white paper was affected. It had some small paper loss in the other blank borders. It had some small areas of paper loss in the bottom left corner of the image. There were pinholes, creases, tears, and some tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Also, the restorer chose to paint over most of the white blank borders (to "even them out"), but did not do nearly as much restoration to the folds, so as to not give the poster a "heavily restored" look. From any reasonable viewing distance, the poster's above restored defects are not very noticeable or distracting. Learn More about condition grades
