Condition: good to very good. There is a scuff mark in Linder's credit at left (possibly from a printing defect). There is separation along the top half of the vertical fold and there is a small amount of tattering and staining around the edges of the poster in the blank borders. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and its colors are still vibrant and after linenbacking it will surely display quite well with little paint restoration needed.
