The poster had creases, tears, and small paper loss on parts of the folds, with some creases and tears around the edges. It had a Danish censor stamp in the top left. 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. Also, the poster was not glued correctly, and it is now "lifting" from the linen in the top left corner where the censor stamp is. Learn More about condition grades
