Both use the same art and most of the same text, but the larger one measures 28" x 42", and does not have the "4% Compounded Quarterly" that is on the bottom of the smaller one that measures 14" x 22", and there are some other differences in the bottom text.

Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
