The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some small tears and small areas of paper loss in the vertical fold between the top and bottom crossfolds, and a much lesser amount of wear on the other folds. It had paper loss in the right end of the middle fold, affecting the "ORE" of "COMINGORE". It had some pinholes and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges, with a larger area of paper loss in the upper right border, just slightly touching the edge of the red background. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was expertly restored by a top professional, and it displays wonderfully! Learn More about condition grades
