Artist: Bob McCall

Condition: good to very good. The poster had water staining, tears, and uneven areas of paper loss across the bottom 2" to 3" of the poster, causing areas of paper loss within the words of the bottom tagline and extending into the bottom 1" or so of the image. Other than that defect, the poster was in pretty nice condition prior to linenbacking (apparently it was never used and was stored rolled, and that end of the poster became wet, which caused the staining, tears, and paper loss, but it is limited to the bottom 2" to 3" of the poster, as described above). The poster was really expertly backed, using an undamaged example of the poster to re-create the tiny areas of missing image at the bottom of the image, and the missing or damaged letters of the tagline. I think most collectors would not realize the poster had had this restoration unless it was pointed out to them, and it will certainly display wonderfully on anyone's wall!
