Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had some tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the vertical foldline, with some slight darkening in the part of the vertical foldline that ran through the inset image. There was a lesser amount of wear on the other folds and some pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
