Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was not machine folded, but it was lightly partially folded down the center, and partially folded across the middle. It had some creases on those folds. It had tears, smudges, and stains around the edges, with small paper loss in each blank corner. It had a few creases scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was linenbacked many years ago, with no excess, and only the slightest restoration was performed. While the poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, if I owned this extremely rare poster, I would surely have it professionally re-backed, because after proper restoration, the poster will display incredibly, and require very little paint restoration anywhere in the image, title, or credits area.
