The poster had U-shaped paper loss at the middle crossfold, with creases, tears, and areas of paper loss on all the folds, and pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. 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.
