Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned four examples of this insert in all our years of auctioning! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had an extra horizontal fold 1" above the regular top one and also an extra bottom horizontal fold. It had some fine surface paper loss on small parts of the folds, and a stain in the left of Tierney's hair. It had pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see 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.
