Artist: Alberto Spagnoli

Condition: very good. The poster had a 4" semi-circular tear in the vertical foldline near the center of the image in Monroe's hair, extending into her temple. There was a 2" semi-circular tear below it in her ear. There were some small tears in the vertical foldline at the bottom center in the water area. Other than those tears, the poster had pretty minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
