Artist: Pendrey Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded once in each direction and there was minor fold and border wear. There were some smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the poster, more so in the solid black areas. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer paperbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
