The poster had a long irregular tear at top center running through the middle of the "F" of "FOR" and into the eagle at left. It had many tears and small areas of paper loss around the edges, extending into the blue background, but only slightly into the images. It had pretty minor wear on the foldlines. 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. Also, the poster was not glued down perfectly, because it is slightly "lifting" from the linen in some areas in the top few inches. Any restorer could re-glue this area without re-backing the poster.
