If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tears and areas of paper loss on parts of some foldlines, with small creases and tiny tears on parts of others. It had smudges and scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was mounted onto linen and very slight restoration was performed, and blank paper was inserted in most of small areas of paper loss, without restoration of the blank paper. The poster's defects are very noticeable from close up, but not nearly as distracting from a reasonable viewing distance. Certainly, this poster could be displayed as it is, or one could choose to have a restorer perform additional restoration, either with or without re-backing the poster. While one would certainly prefer to find a better example of this poster, it is extremely likely that no other example of it exists, and it seems pretty amazing to me that it exists at all!
