Artist: Albert Jorio Condition: fair to good. The poster is quite fragile and separating on parts of several folds. The poster is in urgent need of expert professional restoration. But the poster is mostly "all there", and after linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic, and it will likely require little paint restoration within the image.
