The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking (probably in as good condition as one could hope to find a nearly 100 year old poster). The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
