POSTER CONDITION & GRADING
Good to Very Good, linen backed and restored by Flicks Film Posters in 2023. Prior to linen backing the poster was in Fair condition The poster was lightly rippled and it had many patches of discolouration scattered throughout. There were pinholes around the edges and several scattered in the image and there were some scratches in the image area at right. There was some separation in the top of the vertical foldline and top crossfold and that had been backed with older tape. There were a few pieces of tape around the edges and there were a few additional tape repairs on the back of the poster. The poster responded really well to professional linen-backing and restoration and now displays very well although you can still see signs of the previous flaws and the restoration of those areas.
