What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never machine folded and had just a few light horizontal creases. It had a 3" tear with tiny paper loss in the left of the bottom border, extending into the background to the right of the Fox logo. It had water staining in the center of the top blank border and slight darkening in the top left corner, extending into the edge of the red background. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer did minimal restoration to the blank border defects, likely rightfully assuming they will not show when the poster is framed. Any restorer could easily touch up those areas without re-backing the poster, if the new owner desired.
