Condition: fair to good. There are tiny areas of paper loss scattered throughout the poster. There is some creasing and light rippling throughout the poster. Note that this Mexican poster is somewhat fragile! Mexican posters were printed on a paper stock that often ages very poorly, and also darkens. This poster has darkened somewhat and is more fragile along the foldlines (but of course, any talented restorer could linenback the poster, after which it would look great).
