Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at the bottom crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. It had creases, tiny tears, and tiny paper loss in the bottom horizontal fold, and a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. It had some pinholes around the edges. It had ink transfer in the top yellow and green areas, a printing defect caused by the poster being folded too quickly after printing. 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, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
