a few commented about my one sheet DOUBLE INDEMNITY, which I described as:
seam separation, but no missing pieces vibrant colors.
i have no objection to backing on linen for the protection of the paper's

hey all,
in this major question of linen backing , restoring, etc, i wanted
to present and ask a question. i recently acquired the poster, for
THE UNHOLY THREE (silent, 1925 version), starring lon chaney, sr.
it has fold browning (it is large, French panel, 47x63). there is
some fold
Jeff,
absolutely linenback that vintage French poster.The acids in the inks on
foreign paper can lay waste to the poorly milled paper stock, coupled with
the numerous intersecting fold lines all weakend again by age , wear, and

So not backing I fear the next to you check on your
