I like that last one so much I'm actually thinking of linenbacking it.  The paper is awful and it's impossible to find one in good shape.

Looks good, T.

Re the last one, i can see why you might want to back and conserve that one. Looks like some fold splits are having a party, a little bit, in the upper left and right areas.

Normally, I wouldn't.  I would return it or trash it and get a better condition one.  But this is one of the cases where I know I won't be able to find a better one.  Thus the linenbacking option.  Plus I love this poster.

Péron is one of my all-time favorite poster artists... love the unique "porcelain" skin tones on many of his designs.

Really nice posters.

It is a beauty, T. I can see why you would not want to trash it.

Hope you do get it restored and conserved one day.

This is an artist I wasn't too familiar with but these are all great images. I'm so relieved they are large format posters so it is easier for me to enforce my self-imposed embargo of (purchasing) over-sized paper (1950's Italian 2-foglio posters excepted) or this artist's material could be a potentially expensive temptation.
