Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The left blank border may have been trimmed (we don't know because we don't have another example to compare it to), but if so, only blank white paper was affected. The poster had tiny paper loss at just a few crossfolds and a very few creases, scuffs, and tiny tears on parts of some folds. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but at some point after it was backed, it was slightly roughly handled, and there is now a faint crease in the bottom right corner, both in the poster and in the linen, but it is in the blank area, and is not very noticeable or distracting Learn More about condition grades
