It had some creases, smudges, and scuffs around the edges, and a few smudges and scuffs scattered in the image, including two fine scuff marks in the top of Windsor's hair. Overall, the poster was in good to very 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. 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.
