Condition: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines, with some creases along parts of some foldlines. There was a 3" tear in the top border (in the background to the right of Karloff's head) and some scuffs in that same area. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above (and any restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
