Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Someone trimmed off the left and right blank borders, so the poster now measures 39" wide. It was never folded, and it had only minor border wear, with a few creases scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking (because of the trimming). The poster was pretty well backed, but after it was backed, it acquired a stain in the upper left excess linen, and it slightly extends into the image. There are also water stains in the "E" of "DEATH" at upper left and staining on the linen behind it. Please bear these defects in mind before bidding on this rare poster.
