Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had a semi-circular area of paper loss in the middle of the right border extending into the green and yellow background areas. It had minor wear on the folds and smudges and scuffs scattered in the solid green and yellow areas, with some in the rest of the poster. It had some stains, tears, and paper loss in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
