Incredible Work by Poster Mountain

Probably an easy one for PM but my 1968 Follow Me - a very rare rolled 1960s US 1S - got badly crinkled at top so PM charged me $150 to:

The poster was gently humidified in a chamber and was temporarily mounted to a board using our proprietary gelatin procedure in order to flatten out the creases and handling damage.

Before:



After:

This process can be used for folded posters too if you don't like linen-backing. It can expand the poster however.

Another cream-puff for PM but shows dramatic improvement of LBing (paint later):

Nice job by PM, as usual.


Just wondering.. Why is there such a color saturation difference between the 2 images? The one on the left (the red background, especially) as well as skin tones etc all are super vivid on the left side image. (I'm assuming the "after" shot is the one on the right, since it's framed?)

How can one say, Nice job, if we don't know which is the image showing restoration...?!

Anyway, I am figuring the other way around since the fold lines appear less obvious on the left image??

Not sure what else to comment upon here as either way, the restoration has been minimal per the request.

That’s the pic PM sent me, on left, post-restoration, I didn’t modify

Guess my eyes are still workin' then...
