CONDITION :

Whole poster has browned with age, numerous small greyish spots of damp throughout the poster (most noticeable in the outer border especially around the top, but there are numerous faint spots within the main yellow background).

2 x 1 cm piece torn from the top left corner and a similar size piece torn from the top right corner, 2 x 2 cm piece torn from the bottom right corner, extremely tiny piece torn from the tip of the bottom left corner.

Six small staple holes near the bottom left corner (with two staple rust marks across it), three staple holes near the top left corner (two have torn together creating a 1 cm tear), three small staple holes near the top right corner (with a little rust staining around them), 10 tiny pinholes around the top center, Two pinholes just right of Woods face, 1 cm “L” shaped pinhole tear a few inches below “Grows”, pinhole at the center of the “E” in “Side”.

Small piece torn from the top edge (top of right vertical fold line), approximately 12 tiny edge tears and mild creasing on the top edge with some browning to the tip, three small dark liquid stain spots on the top edge (just right of left vertical fold line), tiny wear hole in the top border near the top right corner, mild edge wear and a small tear on the right edge, small piece worn away from the left edge center, 1 cm edge tear and three tiny edge tears along with mild edge wear on the left edge, small vertical line of tiny brown stains spots near the top of the left edge (possibly tape residue?).

Mild fold wear including a 1 cm long wear hole at the right fold intersection (maybe a tiny amount of paper loss here), small wear hole at the center fold intersection (again maybe a tiny amount of paper loss), five small tears on the right of the center horizontal fold line.

Small greyish ring mark near the top center (possibly a blu-tac mark), a few light surface creases, small 1 cm water stain on the back of the poster which is faintly visible on the front in the right black border line (above center).

Otherwise Very Good!, in my opinion it would look fantastic framed.
