The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines. There were some tiny tears in the left of the middle horizontal fold. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little 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).
