The poster had creases, some small tears, and tiny bits of paper loss on both foldlines. There were pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges of the poster. There were creases and faint scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did NOT paint over large portions of the poster, as some restorers might have done, but they instead did only minimal restoration solely to a small number of the above defects, with the goal of making them less noticeable. From any reasonable viewing distance, the poster displays pretty well (but you can clearly see the defects when you look closely at the poster). This poster is rarely offered, and when it is, it sells for huge amounts, but please read the above carefully and study our super-sized image before placing a bid on this great poster!
