Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. It appears the poster originally measures slightly larger, and that some of the blank borders were trimmed off, but we can't say exactly how much, because we have never auctioned another example of this poster. It had an extra vertical fold 1" to the left of the regular one, with some tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and creases, scuffs, and tiny paper loss on parts of the folds. It had a U-shaped tear in the left of the title extending into the letters and the background to the left of it, with paper loss in the background. It had paper loss in the top right blank corner and a 2" tear in the left of the bottom fold. 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. The poster was backed onto a fairly thin linen with small excess. Certainly it can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one might choose to have it professionally re-backed. Learn More about condition grades
