Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, with pretty minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster many years ago onto a fairly thin linen, and at some point after it was backed, it acquired a small stain in the right of the bottom blank border that extends onto the excess linen.
