The poster had small paper loss at the top crossfold and minor wear on the folds. It had some pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer painted over portions of the borders, to "even them out", and there is now an area in the bottom right corner, where there is a tear in the poster, and it is "lifting" from the linen. Any restorer could repair this without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
