| Condition with Previous Interventions/Restoration
Poster is in excellent condition. Light table reveals two very small areas of missing paper: one in the top right corner and the other in the middle right border. The lower area around the border used to have writing on the front - it has been removed in the border but still remains in the lower light blue section. Spot airbrushing has been done to areas in the border and in the light blue (to cover what remains of the writing). Touch-up to the fold lines has been done with a colored media, probably colored pencil.
