Important Added Info: Note that this poster measures 27" x 41 1/4" [69 x 105 cm]. Condition: good. The poster has quite a bit of light water staining scattered down the center of the poster, but it is not very visible at all from the front, except in the center of Young's credit (see our image). There is 2" of horizontal separation at the top crossfold and tiny paper loss at the top and bottom crossfolds, with slightly larger paper loss at the middle crossfold. There are some tiny bits of paper loss in parts of some foldlines and a 2" vertical tear in the right of the top and bottom foldlines. There are brown water stains in the center of the left and right borders, extending into the image. There are horizontal scuff marks across the upper part of the image (above Young's head), which are a printing defect. There are tears around the edges of the poster. Certainly, this poster has real defects, but this is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the water staining can be removed through chemical means, after which the poster will look fantastic, but bear the above condition defects, and the cost of restoration in mind before placing a bid on this poster.
