Artist: Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen Condition: very good. The poster had creases and some tiny tears in the top 6" of the vertical foldline and minor wear on the other folds. There were some pinholes, tiny tears, and tiny areas of paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed onto a very thin linen backing with 1" of excess linen on all four sides. Note that at some point after linenbacking, the poster was roughly handled and there are now minor creases in all the borders of the excess linen (but solely in the excess linen, and NOT in the poster itself).
