Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and slight darkening and a few small bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. It had pinholes around the edges and the top and bottom borders were folded back at one time. There was a semi-circular tear in the center of the bottom border and a few faint stains in the background area around the words "DICK TRACY". Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame).
