The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases, smudges, and scuffs on parts of some foldlines. There were two small brown round stains in the left of the top foldline in the yellow background area and two matching ones in the left of the bottom foldline, one touching the top left of the "H" of "Horse's" in the title. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not touch up the four circular brown stains noted above (any restorer could touch up those areas without re-backing the poster).
