The poster had a tear in the bottom center of the poster, extending into the bottom of the image, and someone had put tape on the back of that tear that bled through to the front. There was water staining in the lower right blank border. It had some creases and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking.
