If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster had minor fold and border wear and pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great! Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border to allow it to more easily fit in a frame). At some point after the poster was backed, it was handled roughly, and it received a small scratch in the middle left of the poster that left three marks (you can see them in our super-sized image). Any restorer could touch up that area without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
