NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the top two crossfolds, with small paper loss at the bottom crossfold. It had some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the bottom half of the vertical fold. It had pinholes and darkening around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but after it was backied, it was displayed, and the reds in the poster faded noticeably, and it also acquired tiny brown stains around the edges, some in the edges of the borders, no doubt caused by nail heads that came in contact with the poster while it was framed. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its significant defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
