Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had extra horizontal folds below the regular top two, with fine surface paper loss on parts of all the folds. Overall, the poster was in "very good" condition prior to linenbacking. Someone had the poster backed, with no excess linen, and apparently, the restorer touched up the folds and then the poster was displayed for many years. Unfortunately, this caused all the reds in the poster to fade very significantly. Leon Errol has a credit at the bottom that originally had red combined with the yellow, and all the red has disappeared, so that it is barely visible. You can see all the areas where there is red restoration paint, which shows you just how significantly the poster has faded. It could be displayed, or one could choose to have the reds restored back to the poster, but please bear in mind this very significant defect before bidding on this very rare poster.
