Condition: good to very good. The poster has darkened somewhat and it has some tiny creases, tears, bits of paper loss and separation along portions of the vertical foldline and a few edge defects. There are some stains on back mainly at center that slightly bleed through to the front. After proper restoration the poster will display well.
