How much restoration would you order?

Eisenhower

So I acquired this wonderful Daybill a few months ago, linenbacked it and was pondering if I should add a bit of restoration to it or cut it down as is. How would you proceed if it was your poster that you'd had backed? 

The poster below has two areas that I'm considering addressing. 
1- the last 2 letters in Fonda's name could use some red, and
2- there is a light blue line-from a printers defect I'm guessing-just right of his eye which extends to the edge of the poster. 



Please vote accordingly. Thanks for your participation!

Obviously I am the only smart one in this forum...

They aren't issues with the poster...that is how it was printed...so I reckon leave it.

But the blue is ink smudge transfer, not how it was printed.

All part of the process...I have a daybill here with a big hand print in the main colour area, where someone picked it up while it was still wet...LOVE IT!

I hit the wrong one...  I am still not sure if they are both defects?

I'm with Ves on this, leave it as is..

In this case original is best so let it stay as it is.

Both issues reflect how it was printed at the time. This isn't later damage or fading. To cover it over is covering part of its history. I say leave it as is.

Thanks for all your input. Interesting to read.

Now ignore the majority and do what I voted for.
