Artist: Saul Tepper Condition: good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and creases and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. There were two 3" semi-circular tears in the left and right of the top foldline (in the second "N" of "ANNA" and in the "d" of "and"). There was a 3" uneven tear near the center of the poster in the red background below the "f" of "of". There were some stains in the red background between the worlds "ANNA" and "KING" in the title. There were some pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was amateurishly backed onto a thin linen with an attempt at restoration of the above defects and no excess linen around the edges. If I owned this cool poster, I would certainly have a professional remove it from the thin linen and properly re-back it and restore both the above defects and the above amateur restoration.
