Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had an extra horizontal fold below the regular one, with tiny creases and scuffs on both folds, more so at the crossfold. It had a 5" tear in the left border that extended into the edge of Elvis' cheek, and a 3" tear in the left of the bottom border extending into the red background. There were smaller creases and tears around the edges, with a few smudges scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
