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 tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed with no excess linen, and it was displayed on a wall for many years, and over that time, the red of the title has changed from a deep red to a light red, but the rest of the poster does not seem to be hardly faded at all (likely it was only the bottom one-third of the poster that was exposed to light).
