The poster had small paper loss at the top crossfold and paper loss at the bottom crossfold, with some near to it on the folds. It had minor wear on the rest of the folds and some tiny paper loss and pinholes in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame).
