Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of several foldlines, with a 2" vertical tear in the left of the top and bottom foldlines. There were some pinholes around the edges and two creases near the middle of the left of the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
