Learn More Condition: fair to good. The poster had paper loss at the crossfolds and fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was not very well backed, and there are ripples in the top center of the poster and scattered through the rest of the poster, caused by it being poorly mounted (we don't know if a restorer can repair this without re-backing the poster). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
