Size: 27" x 43"

Condition: Very Good. The poster was in very good condition prior to linen backing. There was tiny paper loss at the cross-folds and some scuffs, creases, and tiny tears on parts of the fold-lines. There were some smudges and scuffs in the light background areas and it looks like there was once a small square snipe attached to the lower right corner, because the white background has discolored unevenly in that area. The poster was nicely backed, and is ready for framing.
