Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. Sadly, after the poster was backed, it acquired much water staining down the right edge, affecting the right border of the poster in many places, and also, of course, the linen beneath it and the excess linen to the right of it. It also acquired some water staining down the left side, but fortunately, much of that is solely in the excess linen, with just a small amount in the border of the poster at upper left and lower left. One could certainly have a restorer remove this poster from the old linen and repair the damaged areas and re-back it, but this is a very significant defect, so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept this.
