Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded once in each direction and it had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and some minor wear on the foldlines. It had a 1 1/2" tear in the left of the top border and a tape stain in the right of the top blank border. It had some creases and faint stains in the right of the bottom blank border and tiny pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but the restorer left alone the border defects, likely rightfully assuming they will not show when the poster is framed. Learn More about condition grades
