Important Added Info: Note that on first glance, one thinks that this poster has the "same image" as that of the one-sheet (as is so often the case with 30x40s). But in THIS case, they actually used an almost completely different image! It has the same general layout as the one-sheet, but the Earth at the bottom is a full Earth instead of half an Earth, and the three people dangling from ropes are in different positions, and the images on the left and right are very different from that of the one-sheet!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had smudges, tiny stains, and some tears around the edges, and a few smudges and scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in very 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, but they are really not very distracting.
