Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster was folded once in each direction. It had wear on those foldlines and some pinholes and small tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. Unfortunately, after it was backed, it was very roughly handled. It was folded across the middle (both the poster and the linen), and the same was done 3" below the horizontal fold, causing the poster to crack along that area. There are now cracks and areas of paper loss in the foldlines that surely were not there when it was backed, and the poster is "lifting" from the linen around the edges. It also has water staining in the top of the right border of the excess linen. Certainly, this poster should be removed from the linen and re-backed, so bear that in mind before placing a bid on this poster.
