Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had creases, scuffs, and fine surface paper loss on parts of the foldlines, with a few small tears in the lower part of the vertical fold. There were some tears and tiny paper loss around the edges and some surface paper loss in the top blank area, where a paper snipe was removed. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
