Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had many creases, smudges, scuffs, and some stains scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and it now presents well from a reasonable viewing distance. When you look closely at the poster, you can see most of the above defects clearly, because the restorer did not want to "paint over" the poster, but this incredibly rare poster will display well on its new owner's wall. However, bear in mind its defects before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
