Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period) and stains and darkening in the bottom quarter of the vertical foldline. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster onto a thin linen with a lot of excess and performed no restoration.
