This poster had some paper loss along the lower left edge and bottom edge confined to the margin not affecting the image area which was been expertly restored during the linen backing process. This poster retains the original color and displays beautifully. Overall condition is very good. If you have questions about how to pay for this item please let me know.

Please note the enamel cracks on the upper right hand side. Many of these items tend to bend easily and the enamel flakes off. Another note is that I don’t think the screw plate is original to the piece (although I’m not sure as I couldn’t find a reference for one). It slides over the top of the worn threads barely catching as it goes along. Ultraviolet image included to show the lack of modern enamel repairs. Reach out to me with any and all questions you have.
