Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds , with some small tears and small paper loss scattered on parts of several folds and greater paper loss along the bottom horizontal fold, running through the center of the title. It had pinholes around the edges and some smudges and stains scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Given the poster's substantial defects, the restorer did a pretty nice job, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
