It had tears and paper loss down the left and right borders, with a few tears and tiny bits of paper loss scattered in small parts of the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was expertly restored by a talented professional, and it displays really well, but bear in mind the amount of restoration it has had before placing a bid!
