Condition Notes: This vintage poster is in good pre-owned condition. The printed artwork area remains very clean, glossy, and beautifully colored. There is no major structural damage or tearing. However, as it has been stored rolled, repeated unrolling has left some soft creases/handling waves along the center of the white bottom margin (please review the specific close-up photos). These cosmetic edge waves do not affect the main image and can be easily hidden or flattened out when placed behind a mat or a 32x16\" frame. Comes from a smoke-free home!
