The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds. There were smudges and tiny stains in the letters of the title that may have been a minor printing defect. There were some tape stains in the edges of the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
