Condition of posters
The criteria used to evaluate posters, particularly old ones, differ considerably from those generally employed in the evaluation of printed works. A poster may still be given «A» classification, for example, even if it is slightly crumpled or soiled or if there are minor tears outside the actual picture.
A | = | Poster in good condition. Picture completely preserved. Wrinkles and small tears, if any, restricted to edges. |
B | = | Picture completely preserved. Wrinkles and tears possible |
C | = | Poster restored |
aJ | = | Mounted on Japanese vellum |
aL | = | Mounted on linen |
aF | = | Mounted on foil |
We should also like to draw your attention to the possibility of viewing works at the pre-auction display.
