Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds, with a vertical tear in the upper right red background area, slightly entering the top of the "E" of "WAYNE". Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
