I asked for a link as soon as I heard a backer/dealer wanted it sold by
another dealer. I took a close look at the large picture and there is web and
creases throughout the poster.
This is not easy to asses from a picture and I could be totally wrong. But
there is a chance that this poster went through a bleach bath and things
did not go to well, which would explain the wash out of colors and the
possibility that the paper got burned in to a pulp stage. That would explain
why
there is creases and criss cross touch up patterns throughout the poster.
To me it looks like the poster and paper is in rough shape.
I have been suggesting that there are other problems with this poster.
You see this with the enlargement feature. While fading is one of the worst
disasters, the defects of this poster is not limited to just that. We can
guess, like VintageMovirArt stated, as to the need for crisscross touch up
patters. THOSE ARE DEFECTS!!!!
But....i have suggested that those touch-up patterns reveal something:
since the touch-ups are a different color/shade of orange---->>>DONT YOU
THINK IT FADED AFTER THE RESTORATION.
AND DO YOU AGREE THAT THE SHADING IS DIFFERENT FROM ONE SIDE AND FROM TOP
TO BOTTOM AND SIDE TO SIDE OF THE IMAGE????
