Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases and tiny bits of surface paper loss on parts of the folds. It was folded 3" from the top. It had some smudges in the white background areas and some tears and small paper loss in parts of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
