Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. At some point, perhaps soon after the poster was created, it was mounted onto a thin linen with no excess. It is difficult to know which of its defects were acquired before or after it was mounted. It has tears and small paper loss down the right edge, with paper loss and a 3" tear in both the poster and the thin linen in the top right. It has some creases and tears scattered throughout, with some surface paper loss near the center. If I owned this poster, I would surely have it removed from the thin linen and properly re-backed, but bear all this in mind before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
