Restoration has corrected tears, creases, minor stains, small crossfold chips, edge and fold wear, and some fold separation. The poster was also linen backed, making for a permanent seal on the restoration, a solid poster, which will also make framing and display that much easier. This poster has a very clean appearance and is immediately ready for framing and display.The colors are very rich, deep and dark. And the details of the actors and the images are superb.
