Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had darkened in the borders, typical of Argentinean posters of this period. It had some small tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the bottom quarter of the vertical fold and in the left half of the bottom horizontal fold, with a lesser amount of wear on the other folds and in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
