If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tiny tears, and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of some foldlines with some slight darkening on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, onto a very thin linen, and very little restoration was performed. Note that at some point after linenbacking, the poster was roughly handled and there are now minor creases down the left side of the poster (in both the excess linen and the blank border). This would diminish greatly if the poster were put under weight, and it would not show at all if the poster was framed, and of course, the poster could be professionally re-backed.
