Condition: very good. the poster was linenbacked; prior to restoration the poster had some defects in the blank borders and they have been well restored; there were creases and smudges along the foldlines and tiny holes at the crossfolds but they have been well restored and greatly minimized during the linenbacking process; there are two tiny areas of surface paper loss near the top crossfold that were not restored; The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! Its defects are mostly relatively minor and they were well corrected during linenbacking and the poster now looks quite nice!
