Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and creases, scuffs, and a few tiny tears on parts of most folds. It had pinholes and smudges around the edges, with paper loss near the middle of the right blank border and a few tiny bits of paper loss in the rest of the blank borders. It had a few pinholes scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
