Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases, scuffs, separation, and some tiny tears on parts of some foldlines, with tears and small paper loss in the left 4" of the top foldline. There were pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but at some point after it was backed, it received water staining in the top of the left of the excess linen, just very slightly touching the blank edge of the poster (see our image).
