If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at a few crossfolds and a small circular area of paper loss in the white background to the left of the top of the fly hand. There was an oval area of paper loss at the top of the girl's shoulder at top center. There were extra creases and some tears and some tiny areas of paper loss on some foldlines and there were smudges in some of the white background areas, most notably in the area between the top of the fly hand and the bottom of the girl image. There were pinholes, creases, tears, and smudges around the edges of the poster. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did very little restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster). Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but you can see signs of the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
