If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had creases and a small tear at the crossfold, with pretty minor wear on the foldlines. There were pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges and some faint vertical creases (caused by the poster being rolled and then roughly handled). 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. At some point after the poster was backed, it received a chip in the right of the horizontal foldline (in the solid green area). A talented restorer could touch up that area without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
