Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had uneven darkening through most of the white background areas and extending over a small part of the credits, but not the title or images. It had tiny bits of paper loss on parts of most folds, with pinholes around the edges. The poster was mounted onto a thin linen many years ago, with excess on the left only. We strongly suspect that the uneven darkening was caused by the restoration paint that the restorer back then used, which likely was white, and helped to even out the background, but over the years changed to a light brown color (perhaps something about the paint caused this). If we owned this extremely rare poster, we would have a restorer remove it from the thin linen and redo the background areas, and properly linenback the poster. Please bear all of the above in mind and look at our super-sized image before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
