What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had many creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss on parts of the folds and in the top border, with some scattered down the left 4". It had tears and tiny paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. Given the poster's substantial defects, the restorer did a pretty good job, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Obviously, one would prefer a better condition example of this poster, but we don't know that one exists!
