Important Added Info: Note that this poster contains an unclothed native woman, so we have placed a white bar over that area, for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual poster does not have that white bar! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases and scuffs on parts of some foldlines. There were many extra creases across the center of the poster and in the 5" above that, and there were pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very 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. Learn More about condition grades
