If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had surface paper loss on several foldlines and some creases, scuffs, and tiny tears on parts of the foldlines, and some scattered in the black background areas. There was a 3" tear near the middle of the bottom border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Had the poster been properly linenbacked, it would have looked quite nice after restoration. However, an amateur with little talent backed it, and they backed it onto a thin linen backing and performed restoration to the foldlines. But because the linen was so thin, the backing did not properly hold the poster, and it has folded again along the horizontal folds, causing new surface paper loss. It is also unclear on whether the scuffs scattered in the image occurred before or after the backing. In any event, if I owned this poster, I would surely give it to a talented restorer to have it removed from the inadequate backing, and then properly re-backed, and afterward, it will look great (and the condition will likely drastically improve to "good to very good", if not "very good"), but please bear that added expense in mind before placing a bid on this poster.
