An Original Vintage Linenbacked French Advertising Poster (measures 15" x 23 1/2") (Learn More) Favor was a French bicycle, moped & motorcycle manufacturer which was founded in 1898 by Guillaume Etienne. The company only made bicycles at first, but started production of motorcycles in 1921. Due to the turmoil experienced throughout the European motorcycle industry in the late 1950s as a result in the boom in small car sales, Favor ceased manufacture of motorcycles. Mopeds, motorized and regular bicycles remained in production until the company was closed in 1977. Artist: Jacques Bellenger & Pierre Bellenger Important Added Info: What IS linenbacking? "Linenbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them far easier to display (it is much easier and less expensive to frame a linenbacked poster). When linenbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction either was not linenbacked all that well, OR the poster had more significant defects that were well corrected or both (you can tell which type it is by reading our written comments about the poster's condition). In general, know that we received many of the linenbacked posters we are currently selling already linenbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not at all distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster). Also note that the poster is slightly "lifting" from the linen in the corners (any restorer could re-attach it without re-backing the poster). Learn More about condition grades
