The poster was never machine folded, but it had a partial vertical crease near the center. It had pinholes, stains, and some tears around the edges, with some going into the image. It had some creases and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! 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.
