Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and creases, scuffs, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds, with pinholes in the corners and a few creases around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but after it was backed, it was roughly handled (or perhaps it was in a tube that got damaged), and there are now creases scattered along the white area just above the title, the length of the poster, both in the poster and the linen. They are not that distracting, or certainly one could choose to have this poster re-backed, but bear this in mind before bidding. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
