Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto an extremely light paper backing (acid-free) by a museum restorer, that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and two tiny bits of paper loss in the vertical foldline between the top and middle crossfolds, with minor wear on the other folds. It had small paper loss in the top left blank corner and paper loss in the top right corner, slightly extending into the yellow background. It had an oval-shaped stain in the middle of the right, extending into the blue and white circular borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
