The poster had staining in the middle of the red star and minor wear on the folds. It had tape stains, creases, and tears around the edges, and a circular water stain in the lower left blank border. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone mounted it onto linen with no real restoration, and after it was backed, the poster started to "lift" from the linen in the upper right of the star, where there are small tears, and either that area needs to be re-glued, or it could be much better to have the poster entirely re-backed, However, this will involve considerable expense, so please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster that is in much lesser condition.
