Condition: good. light rippling and discoloration throughout the poster from exposure to moisture; three approximately 1 1/2" x 3" areas of completely blank paper loss along the top edge as well as a few 3/4" and smaller areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster (each repaired with paper and tape from the back)

creases along the foldlines and edges from the poster being folded off-center as well as some creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout; 4" of separation and tattering in the left end of the top horizontal fold as well as 1" and smaller tears along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster (some repaired with tape from the back). The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! Its defects are mostly the sort that respond very well to restoration. After linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster would look great, and it would have little paint restoration anywhere on it!
