Thoughts on this kind of work (Paris)
So they're likely more poster restorers (and shops that sell posters) in France than anywhere else... They're multiple universities here from 2 to 5 years that focus on restoration and conservation...
Yet often, the work looks like this...
(seen from a store front window)...
I'm an amateur by far and I know that French paper from the 50s looooves to yellow at the folds -- but this looks like it was put right on linen with no buffer and no deacidification wash before hand...
Is this commonplace and regarded as OK work?

PLUS, some restorers, but not all, "over-restore" and the poster ends up looking like it was "dipped in paint".
