Condition: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at each crossfold and separation, creases, tears, and tiny paper loss along the foldlines. There was a 1/4" x 1" area of paper loss in the bottom of the girl's shirt 1/2" above her belt. There were creases, smudges, small tears, and small areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and the above defects were well corrected, but the poster does not have a heavily restored look to it at all, and in fact, there is only paint on the poster in the exact areas detailed above. The poster displays well, and I would think any collector would be quite happy to display it on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
