The poster had creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss in the top half of the vertical foldline and in the left half of the top two horizontal foldlines. There was an area of paper loss in the top center of the red box and in between the first "C" and "A" of "CASABLANCA" in the title. There were a lesser number of creases, tears, and areas of paper loss on the other foldlines. At one time, there was tape on the back of parts of many of the folds. There was an upside-down V-shaped tear beginning in Groucho's forehead and extending through his hair and the left of his hat, ending at the bottom of the "H" of "Howl". There were creases, smudges, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed. The restorer painted over a large amount of the white background to "even it out", but it is not very noticeable, and the poster does not have a heavily restored look, although you can see slight signs of the restoration, even from a distance, but they are not very distracting.
