Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had an extra vertical foldline slightly to the left and slightly diagonal to the regular vertical foldline and there were some creases and scuffs in the area between them. There was small paper loss at the bottom crossfold and some tears and tiny paper loss in the left half of the bottom foldline and in the bottom quarter of the vertical foldline. There were some pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
