Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had surface paper loss just below the center of the bottom horizontal fold, including in Miller's legs and in Keenan Wynn's credit (it looks like a snipe was glued over that area). It had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines, with some slight darkening at the edges of the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and the restorer only slightly touched up the area affected by the removed snipe, but it is not all that distracting (see our image).
