The poster was folded across the middle and there was paper loss in the middle of the right blank border, just slightly extending into the edge of the image. There were pinholes, tears, and smudges around the edges of the poster and surface paper loss in the top blank area where a paper snipe had been attached. There is a Belgian tax stamp in the middle of the right of the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but the restorer left alone the tax stamp (which adds to the authenticity of the poster). Learn More about condition grades
