Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had minor wear on the foldlines. It had staple holes, smudges, and some tears around the edges, and a horizontal crease in the middle right of the image that extends into the monster's cheek, and also some creases scattered in the bottom of the image. There is bleed-through from a stamp on the back in the bottom right pink background area. Overall, the poster was in good to very 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, but they are really not very distracting.
