Condition: good to very good. The poster had many tears, creases, and scuffs down the center of the poster. There was a tiny hole in the top of the horse's head and a silver dollar-sized hole at the middle crossfold at the bottom of the horse's mouth, but otherwise, there was no paper loss on the vertical foldline. There were areas of paper loss across the bottom foldline. There were pinholes, creases, smudges, tears, and small areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. The poster had scuffing across much of the bottom credits area, which the restorer left "as is" (likely so that the poster would not have a heavily restored "dipped in paint" look, which it does NOT). Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was generally well backed, and I would think most people would only notice the scuffing in the bottom title areas, and not notice the other defects, which were nicely restored, and are not distracting.
