The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny scuffs, creases, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds. It had horizontal lines of faint scuffing in the man's hair at right and in the cape of the man above him, with some other faint scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer left alone the faint scuff marks described above. They are clearly noticeable, so bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
