It had small water stains in the center of the top blank border, and in the center of the right blank border. There was a small tear and tiny paper loss within the center of the "D" of "RIDER" in the title. There were some very faint water stains in the bottom quarter of the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The person who restored the poster first completely cleaned it, which removed a considerable amount of the smudges and stains. At that point, the decision was made to not do further restoration, because in order to make the image look "perfect", there would have been the need for lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and the faint remaining scattered tiny stains are definitely not very distracting, and in addition, they help establish that this is a genuine 83 year-old original poster! I really think the poster probably has survived in much better than could have been expected condition, and it truly does not have very much restoration, and it will display great on anyone's wall!
