Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration.

The poster had creases, scuffs, and a few tiny tears on some foldlines. There was an extra horizontal fold halfway between the middle fold and the bottom fold. Part of the right blank border was trimmed off and there were creases, smudges, tears, and pinholes in all the borders, so the person who linenbacked the poster chose to paint over all of the blank borders (with the exception of the writing at bottom), to "even them out". Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and displays nicely.
