If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had creases, tears, and tiny areas of paper loss on the foldlines, more so in the top quarter of the vertical foldline and in a few parts of the other folds. There was paper loss in the top left corner extending into the edge of the image background. There were some tears and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster extending into the edges of the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and the restorer did not attempt to make it "look perfect", and I agree with that decision, because, while you can see signs of the restoration from close up, from any reasonable viewing distance, they are not very noticeable or distracting, and the poster does not have a "dipped in paint" look that it would have if it had been heavily restored.
