Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had a small area of paper loss on the middle fold, 3" to the right of the crossfold. It had some tears and tiny paper loss in the top quarter of the vertical fold, and tears to the right of the bottom quarter of the vertical fold. It had some tiny bits of paper loss on the rest of the folds. It had two tears just under the Warner Bros. credit and some pinholes around the edges, with paper loss in the center of the top blank border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
