Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had faint scuff marks in the lower left of the image. It had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny creases and fine surface paper loss on parts of the foldlines, with minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above (a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
