Artist: Carlos Escobar Important Added Info: This Spanish poster measures approximately 27" x 39" and is folded. Condition: good to very good. There are tears and tiny areas of paper loss in the top and bottom borders, there is only one area of paper loss that very slightly extends into the edge of the image, and the others are solely blank white paper. There is a small hole with 1/2" tears above and below it at the top crossfold. There is light water staining down the entire center of the poster, varying from 6" to 10" in width, but it mostly only shows on the front in the "PLA" of "PLANETA" and "PRO" of "PROHIBIDO". The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! It is quite likely that the light water staining can completely be removed through chemical means during the linenbacking process, and the border defects are easily restored. After proper restoration by a talented restorer, this poster will look fantastic, and there will be little paint restoration anywhere within the poster! Learn More about condition grades
