Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of most folds, with rectangular tape stains in the top and bottom borders and some other border wear. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster onto a fairly thin linen with minimal restoration, and they left alone the tape stains in the borders. Please do not bid on this very rare poster unless you can accept what is written above.
