If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, OR it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, OR it had fairly significant defects that were not restored at all. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would surely benefit from additional professional restoration. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-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 had many minor border defects, and many scuffs, smudges, and creases throughout the poster (mostly along the foldlines). The person who restored the poster chose to paint over the entire white background areas, which means that it all looks very neat and even, but, of course, it also means that a significant portion of the poster has paint on it. It is important to know, however, that the paint is mostly on the solid white areas, and there are lesser amounts of paint on the image or on the writing. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the restoration described above (which is truly not very noticeable; you really realize it when you "feel" the poster with your hand, and barely at all when you look at it).
