Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. There is some slight discoloration due to exposure to moisture in a few portions of the edges (see our image). The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). After proper restoration the poster will look fantastic, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
