Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had a total of 1" trimmed from each border, so that it measures 26" x 40", not 27" x 41". It also had many creases, scuffs, and some small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of the folds, with paper loss scattered in the bottom right of the bottom credits area, starting in the word "NIELSEN" and going to the right of that. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, and the restorer did not recreate the missing portions of the blank borders (which are solely blank white paper).
