Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had a 6" slightly diagonal tear in the right border, running in the background to the man's foot, with some scuffs and a tiny bit of paper loss on that tear. Overall, the poster was in 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, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
