Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had minor wear on the horizontal fold, with a V-shaped tear in Andrews' collar. There were faint stains in the middle of the left and a 5" tear in the lower left border, with some pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
