After preservation and restoration by Poster Mountain.
Verso image after Poster Mountain's preservation treatment with gelatin and Japanese tissue.
The insert following the de-mount, and re-conservation. Most of the previous restoration was not soluble so it could not easily be removed so we elected to leave it and cover it up with new restoration.
The insert as it was received by Poster Mountain. Previous restoration can be seen.
The top of the "A" in the extreme upper left of the image in the text block which appears in that area.

We have imprinted a unique mark on the back of this poster in thew lower left corner, and under the microscope have documented the uniqueness of this mark.
