Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had a slightly diagonal fold above the right half of the middle fold, with a tear in the woman's hair. There were some small tears around the edges, with a 5" tear in the lower right border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
