Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a few tiny bits of paper loss and separation on parts of some folds. It had pinholes, tears, tape stains, and some paper loss around the edges, with paper loss in the bottom right corner that eliminated the litho number that was printed there. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but the restorer did not replace the tiny litho number at bottom right. One could have that replaced by another restorer without re-backing the poster, or one could leave the poster as it is, because it certainly displays well. Learn More about condition grades
