NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Mort Kunstler Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at just a few crossfolds and a very few creases, scuffs, and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. There is faint staining in the top blank border and tiny paper loss near the middle of the image, with some blue marks in the center of the title that look to be a minor printing defect (the same blue marks are in the center of the bottom border). Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
