The poster had some tears and paper loss along the bottom horizontal fold, but not as much as the top. Someone long aggo backed this poster on to a thin linen with no excess. It appears that after it was backed it acquired tiny tears around the edges of the poster and the excess linen. Also, it acquire three small brown stains on the back of the upper center of the linen, and they bleed through to the front in the middle left of the woman's hat and in the background next to it.
