CONDITION NOTES;
As seen in my photos, there is some yellowing approximately 1/2"-1" wide around the perimeter of the image.
Once framed and matted, these imperfections will be hidden and the poster will display beautifully.
I HIGHLY recommend using only non-glare glass with a UV filter
Regular glass will turn the artwork into a giant mirror, reflecting everything especially all light sources.
In very overall nice vintage condition slight imperfections around the edges, are minimal commensurate with its age of over 50 years
