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, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds, more so in the bottom quarter of the poster. It had some creases and scuffs in non-fold areas in that part of the poster as well. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
