Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had small tears and small areas of paper loss on parts of some folds, with oval paper loss in the lower right of the image, in the middle of the horse second from the right. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was likely pretty well backed when it was first backed, but it was not glued to the linen adequately, and it is now "lifting" from the linen in the area where the two sections join, and the restoration of the above paper loss is also separating and much more noticeable. There are also creases in the bottom of the poster, but in the poster itself and the linen backing. Please read the above carefully and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
