Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had tears and paper loss around the edges, and some surface paper loss scattered in parts of the image (some or all of this could have occurred after it was backed). It was otherwise pretty well backed, but please bear these considerable defects in mind before bidding.
