I agree leave it blank. On my restorations, I only use water color pencils. I restore some posters for a large collector in Ohio, and likes my technique. I have posted some pics on this forum under following Charlie’s path.

Agree with your comments. I don’t restore just to get a buck. In fact, I had a customer that wanted a rare rock poster backed. It was rolled and in nice shape. I recommended that instead of backing to use the money to have professionally framed. He …

As a restorer of posters, using conservation techniques, I think restoration has its place. As a restorer for one of the largest collectors, we restore posters, that many are possibly a one of a kind just because of age. Restoration means they will …

This poster that I was lucky to be able to restore, was graded as very fine + on Heritage, the highest grade for a restored poster, and sold for $440.00.

Thank you
They are for a local collector friend of mine that has helped me along.
Just finished these 2.
Happy with this restoration.
Latest linen backing.

You have a sound theory, my bottom fold lines always seem more pronounced than the top or middle. Maybe …
