Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds, a 1" vertical tear in the middle of the girl's face at bottom left, and minor fold and border wear. The borders of the poster had darkened somewhat, typical of examples of this poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but you can see slight signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
