Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!).

The poster was folded once in each direction with some creases and scuffs on both foldlines. There was a slightly diagonal scuff mark to the left of the vertical foldline in the bottom of the central image. There were some pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
