It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: good to very good. This poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. It appears to have had the following defects: There was minor foldwear. There were smudges and stains in the white background areas. There were tears and paper loss in the corners and in the center of the bottom blank border. The person who linenbacked this poster did only the most minor of restoration to the foldlines and basically left the background areas and borders unrestored. I would think many collectors could accept this poster as is, but surely a talented restorer could greatly improve the unrestored areas without rebacking the poster. The defects were well corrected during the linenbacking process and the poster now looks great! Learn More about condition grades
