Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this one-sheet (only one in the last 31 years), and the last example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned!

The poster was never folded. It had some minor creases and a few tiny dot stains (which look to be minor printing defects) around the edges. It had a 2" crease or tear in the upper left border. Otherwise, the poster was in wonderful condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
