Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, with some creases, tiny tears, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of several folds. There was a partial second vertical fold just to the right of the regular one, in the blue background just above the title. It had pinholes and a few small tears around the edges. It had faint water stains scattered in the left half of the bottom blank border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and will display well, but the restorer left alone the faint stains in the bottom blank border described above, likely rightfully assuming they will not show if the poster is framed (and of course, one could have additional restoration performed to the blank border without re-backing the poster. In addition, the restorer did not leave any left or right blank borders, and left a tiny bit at the top and bottom of the poster. None of this has much effect at all on the poster itself, which will display quite nicely once it is framed. Learn More about condition grades
