What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, with a small tear at the middle crossfold. It had some pinholes around the edges, with small paper loss in the top right blank corner, where a pin was roughly removed. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
