Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster's blank borders were mostly trimmed off and it was folded once in each direction. There was tiny paper loss at the crossfold and some tiny surface paper loss on parts of the foldlines. There was a roughly 1" x 3" area of paper loss in the middle of the left border, in Karloff's hair. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but the restorer did not replace the missing blank borders. Learn More about condition grades
