The poster had some tiny bits of paper loss along parts of most folds, with some tears and small paper loss scattered throughout the poster. Fortunately, many of them were in solid black areas, but a few were within the images. The most significant of this paper loss was in the image at upper center of the baggy pants man, where there was paper loss in his pants extending up the side of his chest and into the background behind. There were some pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. A talented restorer did a nice job with this poster, because it displays really well, even though you can see slight signs of the restorationThe poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
