Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this one-sheet, and that was 22 years ago. That poster has now been reconsigned to us after all these years, so this is still the only example of this one-sheet we have ever auctioned! Also note that this one-sheet measures 25 1/2" x 39 1/4" [65 x 100 cm], but it has not been trimmed. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss in the center of the bottom horizontal fold and very minor fold wear. It had a few pinholes around the edges. 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. Finally, note that the poster measures 25 1/2" x 39 1/4". It is certainly possible it was created that size, or it might have had a much wider than usual blank white border around the edges that someone trimmed, but we have no other poster to compare it to.
