Important Added Info: Note that this poster has a great artwork image of the villain from this serial, The Scorpion. I wonder if he looked that convincing in the movie himself!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and separation and tiny bits of paper loss scattered down the vertical fold, with a lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds. It had pinholes and small paper loss around the edges, and small paper loss in the "C" of "SCOTLAND" in the title. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
