The poster had a diagonal crease in the top left corner and some pinholes, tears, creases, and smudges around the edges of the poster and some minor wear on the foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster appears to have been pretty well backed, but little restoration of any sort was done to the poster, and it is now slightly "lifting" from the linen around the edges (any talented restorer could re-attach the poster without re-backing it).
