Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had been trimmed for an unknown reason on all four sides. It had 4" trimmed from the top border, 3" from the right border, 3 1/2" from the bottom border, and 3" from the left border, which means that when it was found, it measured 21" x 33 1/2". The trimming affected the image on the left and right, and the background at top and bottom. The portion of the poster that was present had really good colors and only pretty minor wear on the folds Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was given to a really talented restorer, together with high quality scans of the complete poster, and they did a wonderful job recreating the missing blank borders and the missing areas from the edges of the image on all four sides. I feel certain that the new owner of this poster will be able to display it on their wall, and that very few people, if any, would realize that it had the restoration it has had. It is an extremely rare poster that almost never comes up for sale, so while one would prefer an untrimmed example, it might be a very long wait to find such a poster. But please bear in mind the restoration it has had before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
