Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off. It was folded across the original middle and had minor wear on that fold, and some small tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
