Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss on parts of the folds, with minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but after it was backed, it acquired faint water staining down the left of the poster, most noticeable in the bottom of the left blank border and also some faint dot water stains in the bottom right of the green credits box. Any restorer could touch up these areas, either with or without re-backing the poster. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame. Please bear in mind the above unusual defects this poster has before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
