We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2001! Condition: poor to fair. The poster is in much lesser condition. It has MUCH water staining throughout which has rippled and softened the poster paper and there are several defects scattered along the edges and foldlines/crossfolds and there are several significant areas of foldline and/or crossfold separation. Many of the defects have been repaired or replaced with tape from the back. The poster is very fragile and difficult to handle. The rare poster is in urgent need of restoration. Certainly a top restorer can repair the defects described above, and after, the poster will display really well, but please bear in mind the poster's many defects and the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
