The poster had tears and small paper loss below the top crossfold, which affected the bottom left of Sullavan's nose, her upper lip, and the center of her mouth. There were some smudges and marks on the back of the upper left that slightly bled through to the front, and also on the back of the top right of Sullavan's forehead. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see slight signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
