Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was mounted onto a thin linen with no excess (this was almost surely done soon after it was created). It has small creases in three corners and a long diagonal crease in the top right corner of the image. The poster could be displayed and enjoyed just as it is, or certainly, it could be removed from the old linen and professionally backed.
