The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases and scuffs on parts of some foldlines. It had some pinholes and tape stains in the borders. There was a stamp on the back, and someone marked over it with a pink marker, and it bled through to the front near the bottom center. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
