Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had never been folded. However, it must have been displayed in sunlight, because the orange colored background area has faded considerably (if you look at the top and left edges of that background, you can see the color that it originally was). The poster had many uneven horizontal creases and faint smudges scattered throughout, with pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and the backing diminished how noticeable the creases and faint smudges are, but you can see them when looking closely at the poster (from a reasonable viewing distance, they are not very noticeable). The restorer did not attempt to address the fading issue, and many people might not realize it even was faded unless they looked at another example of the poster (and a restorer could paint over that background area to restore it to the original color, if the new owner desired). But please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
