The top and bottom blank portions of the card were trimmed off and there were many creases, smudges, and a few tiny stains scattered through the poster, more so down the left and right border where there were also tears. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who owned the poster had it backed onto a stiff linen backing, but had no restoration performed (of course, any talented restorer could remove it from that linen backing and perform any degree of restoration that the new owner desired).
