Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was partially neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster had three horizontal folds near the center and one near the bottom and one in the top play dates area. There were some creases and a few tiny tears on the foldlines and pinholes and tiny tears in the borders, with two tiny areas of paper loss. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
