Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss scattered in the bottom blank border and some very minor fold wear. There was a 6" upside-down V-shaped tear in the white background area above the credits at lower right. Overall, the poster was in very 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, but they are really not very distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster). Also, it seems that someone displayed this poster by putting three nails through the top excess linen area, and there are now enlarged nail holes in the top left and right corners of the excess linen, and an enlarged nail hole and a tear in the top center. But all three of these are solely in the excess linen, which could simply be trimmed to below the nail holes, and since it does not affect the actual poster in any way, we think it is a pretty minor defect.
