The poster had tiny paper loss at the top and bottom crossfolds and some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. There was an NSS number on the back of the top center of the poster that bled through to the front. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not touch up the bleed through from the NSS number (any restorer could touch that area up without re-backing the poster).
