Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The image in the left of the poster was glued onto it. We don't know if the poster was created that way, but we would suspect that it was, much how paper banners were created a few decades later. The poster also had tiny tears and tiny areas of paper loss down the left vertical fold and in the left half of the horizontal fold, with a lesser amount on the other folds. It had a long diagonal tear in the bottom left that separated that portion from the rest of the poster and also some other tears scattered in the bottom half of the image. It had some tears and paper loss around the edges. It had some staining at the top of the attached image, surely caused when it was first attached. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
