without RE-starting the CONTINUING debate...........................
1. posters can be put on linen WITHOUT restoration.
or
2. linen and some "cleaning" of the smudges and borders and NO PAINT
or
3. LINEN PLUS:
a) minor touch-ups at folds
b) major paint
c) major paint with adding paper to missing pieces
d) restoration tantamount to an oil painting
just mounting on linen merely to strengthen the integrity of the poster & to
give it a smoother (uncrinkled effect) & maybe a little bleaching is not
offensive to me. what's so terrible about seeing that the poster had NORMAL
seam separation or border tears or darkened corners or a pencil mark?
......it
is when i hear the words, "RESTORED ON LINEN" that turn me off because
"RESTORED" means paint.
(i am confused by what is meant when people say to take away the acid
effect??????)
the term to soften the impact of the words PAINT/RESTORE seems to be
AIRBRUSH. but, isnt that paint? of course.
frankly, i learned from bruce h. that you can put a one sheet on linen with
none to minimal additional work. i learned that when i bought one sheets of
JANE EYRE and WUTHERING HEIGHTS from bruce had this approach (and explained
in his descrip). they are both great and framed!!!! LESS is MORE.
But when bruce says it was put on linen with none or minimal restoration,
you can believe him. I have returned 3 posters over the years with the same
pronouncement to other sellers, due to massive, undisclosed restoration. AND
I THANK BRUCE PUBLICLY HERE for reaffirming to me privately (recently) about
restoration work on an two of his items (although really stated by him in
his descriptions)---bruce is as honest in describing pre-restoration condition
and the ensuing restoration work as he is in describing defects in untouched
posters----both in private emails and on the description page. .
in sum........................consider placing a poster on linen with NO
RESTORATION!!!!
