The poster had small paper loss at the top crossfold and tiny paper loss at the bottom crossfold, with some small paper loss in the man's chin. It had some creases and scuffs on parts of the folds. It had some ares of paper loss in parts of the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. After it was backed, the poster came in contact with moisture, which has caused stains in the bottom of the poster, and also has caused the poster to become lightly rippled, so it is in urgent need of restoration.
