Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had extra horizontal folds, with some separation on some of them. It had paper loss in the top left blank corner and small paper loss in the center of the top blank border, with water staining in the top center that extended to the top of the credits. It had smudges and stains scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster "as is" with only slight excess, and did no restoration to speak of. If I owned this extremely rare poster, I would surely have it removed from the old linen and properly restored, and the poster will ultimately display well, but bear all of the above in mind before bidding.
