Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had a few extra folds and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds, and some creases and scuffs scattered in the solid black areas. It had pinholes and tears in the corners, with a few stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed onto a very thin linen with no excess. While it can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, it also certainly can be removed from the thin linen and properly re-backed, but that will be the choice of the new owner.
