Looks fantastic, Christian.
Nice job done. clapCan I ask who does your backing for you? And im just noticing that small white rectangle in the upper right corner. Any idea why that is there? Maybe to have written some info, back in the day?
Many thanks Jeff.
The guy I normally have doing my linen-backing is Michael Brewster from Studio M in Sydney.
I think I mentioned to you that he is relocating back to the US later this year, so he is training up some people who are essentially taking over his business here and they will relocate it
to Melbourne, which is great for me as I can then drop posters into them in person rather than sent them via courier to Sydney.
The new girl Hanna whom he is training up to do linen backing is already a proficient restorer from what I have been told and the results look great so far from the several posters
I have recently had done.
The white rectangle to the top right of the poster is actually an original sticker which is common to all of these posters that I have seen.
It is the details of an SS Kriegsberichter (War Correspondant) although being a French language poster it is obviously in French...
I have just realised that it is in all likelihood the artist's name, as R. NACHBAUER in theory matches the artist initials on the artwork.
'Rhn'...... The
'H' being his middle initial.
This image below was by the collector whom I purchased it from. When it arrived in the tube, this label was starting to peel off so I made it a matter of sending it off
to be linen backed ASAP..!

There were quite a few SS war correspondents were also war artist's, one of which I have original artworks by in my collection.
