Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had some partial horizontal folds, with uneven tears and some tiny paper loss in a circular area at the top left of the bridge structure, slightly affecting the top of the bridge (there may have been a snipe attached to that area). The poster had some tears and tiny paper loss around the edges and some scuff marks and a tear near the center of the image below the yellow circle. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
