The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster also had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. It had some small tears and faint stains around the edges and two diagonal creases in the bottom right of the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
