The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and tiny paper loss at other crossfolds, with some minor fold wear and pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in 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).
