Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had second horizontal folds 1/2" above and below the regular top and middle ones. It had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
