Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was folded once in each direction and it had creases, scuffs, and tiny bits of surface paper loss on both foldlines, with a lot of scuffs and vertical creases in the right of the horizontal fold. It had creases, tears, and stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
