If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. This poster was NOT well restored. You can see signs of the restoration from a distance. This is a poster that would greatly benefit from additional professional restoration. See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). good to very good. The poster had creases down the left side of the poster. There is an area in the left border where the poster is torn and is lifting from the linen, and there are areas in the middle left of the poster where the poster had rippled slightly. It appears it was not properly glued to the linen and should be re-backed. The poster had few defects prior to backing (outside of some paper loss in the blank borders), and it would look great once it was re-backed and it would not have much paint anywhere on it.
