If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this poster, and that was 10 years ago. The buyer of that poster had it linenbacked and has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had many creases along both folds, with creases, pinholes, smudges, and some paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
