Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had two extra vertical foldlines 1" to the left of the regular left and right vertical foldlines. The poster had creases, tiny tears, and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of some foldlines and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. There were some faint smudges scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster.
