NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are slightly noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster was never folded. There were a few very tiny areas of paper loss in the image including two tiny ones in Pidgeon's forehead. The poster was attached to a wall with tape in each corner, and the tape is gone, but there are stains in each corner, and there are some minor border defects. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and the image area looks great. The restorer did not touch up the tape stains in the corners, likely both because they are not distracting, and because they likely may not show when the poster is framed.
