If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, creases and tiny paper loss in the left half of the top foldline, and tiny surface paper loss in the right of the top foldline. There were extra creases above and below the bottom horizontal fold and minor wear on the other folds. There were pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer left alone the tiny surface paper loss in the right of the top foldline (either that, or the damage was sustained after the poster was backed). In either case, any restorer could touch up that area without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
