Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. It had small paper loss and a tear in the 3" above the top crossfold, and small paper loss to the right of Lucille Ball's hair, with some creases and scuffs on the other folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
