The poster had some tiny paper loss and small tears on part of the vertical fold. It had a second partial vertical fold 3" to the right of the regular one, with some tears and small paper loss on that fold. It had some pinholes and small paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
