Pulford Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this British quad, and that was 7 years ago, when it sold for $925! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has several creases and tears of varying lengths around the edges (more so along portions of the lower edge). There are four 1 1/2" vertical tears along the center horizontal fold and the center horizontal fold has separation and some paper loss at left and right. The aforementioned defects have been backed by clear tape that slightly bleeds through to the front and some of the darker areas have been touched up with black marker. Certainly the ultra-rare poster could be restored and linenbacked and it would look great, but please bear in mind its defects and cost of restoration before placing a bid.
