The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds. It also had some smudges in the white background to the right of the title and some tiny faint stains in the bottom right corner in the yellow background. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
