Girard NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. The top 2" and the left and right 2" of the poster were folded over at one time (no doubt to put on a frame), but those foldlines are not very noticeable at all. There are staple holes across that extra top foldline and a few others scattered around the edges of the image. There is separation and tiny paper loss at the middle and bottom crossfolds. There are some diagonal creases in the bottom 1/4 of the poster to the left and right of the vertical foldline. There is small paper loss in the left edge of the middle foldline, in the blank border. There is very faint water staining in the vertical foldline between the middle crossfold and the bottom crossfold. There are some creases along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster is in pretty nice condition, and a simple linenbacking would make the above minor defects basically vanish, and the poster would look great, and there would be little restoration anywhere on the poster!
