It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Note that this one-sheet measures 26 3/4" x 41". Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Condition: very good to fine. There was minor paper loss at the crossfolds, and a few small tears in the borders, all of which were restored. There was minor restoration on the foldlines.. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
