Important Added Info: Note that this poster does not appear to be trimmed, but it has a fairly small top border and the horizontal fold is well above the center of the poster as it is, which would seem to indicate that it once had a much larger top blank border. But we have never seen another example of this poster to compare it to. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking?
