Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had all of its blank borders trimmed off, including the small writing in the bottom of the poster. There were extra folds, creases, small tears, and tiny bits of paper loss along the folds. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone took the borders from a different 1939 poster, "Remember", and "married" those borders onto this poster. They did not do a great job of backing the poster, because the added border is slightly separating in the top. You can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
