Nonetheless................at the next Signature auction, most of the highest
priced items will be linen/restored.? And Emovieposter often puts backed
posters in one night---900+ posters..........and they are usually the better
titles.? SO. WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.? Many still prefer linen.

I can see the demand for restoration dropping.
(The more cosmetic work anyway.)
And the demand for authentication growing.
Someone will need to provide it, and?I don't think anyone's cornered the market
in this yet.

End of the day each restoration studio implements their own techniques and this
is by no means a peak at Diane. We all do what we feel is right.

Hi Diane
Surely removing the "back layer card stock" is?tantamount to?changing the
entire character and authenticity of a window card. A window card
is?supposed?to be on thick card stock. Thats the way it is. It doesnt seem
right to?me to be removing a layer of the poster. Perhaps you could elaborate
on the process you use.
Regards
John?

When working with window cards, we remove the back layer card stock, this way
the poster can be cleaned, washed and deacidified,?which also results in
removing?any creasing/folds.? We back it then with a layer of acid free masa
paper, same stuff used in linenbacking.? A lot of window cards have been
trimmed at the top, this then allows us to add the missing paper, making it to
size.? Card stock is then adhered to the masa, repairs are made, touched up,
etc.
?
If you look at my first post about the Dracula, I mentioned the fact that there
was a layer of something on the back.? To me, it looked like the poster had
been backed to card stock, cardboard or "something" and when it was pulled off,
a layer remained, giving it a "fuzzy" (term I used on NSGE) feel. So we removed
what we could on that, washed and linenbacked it.
?
So to answer your question, you are absolutely right, it is possible, and just
might be what happened with the Dracula poster.
