Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). It also had a foldline across the original middle with extra folds above and below that fold, and tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in that foldline. There was minor wear on the other folds and some pinholes, small tears, and faint stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
