If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. The poster was very slightly trimmed on its blank borders, and measures 26 1/2" x 40 1/2". It had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, some minor wear on the foldlines. There were pinholes and some small areas of surface paper loss and some light staining scattered through the image, and some creases, tears, and areas of paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was not that well backed, both because the restorer did little restoration to the border areas, and did not re-create the missing parts of the blank borders, and because the restorer used a white restoration paint on some of the areas in the lower part of the poster that is quite noticeable.
