Condition & Shipping Details:

• Dimensions: Full sheet measures exactly 27 x 38 inches.

• Shipping Format: Please note that this poster will be shipped folded. It folds exceptionally well along its original archival fold lines, and this flat, folded configuration is the absolute safest way to protect and secure this specific canvas-backed piece during transit.

• Condition: Antique, canvas-backed (linen-backed) condition. Please note that the poster sheet and the canvas backing are starting to lift and come apart in areas. This delamination is a typical age-related characteristic of older backing jobs but is important to note for restoration or framing purposes. The backing still helps stabilize the historic paper, minimizing the impact of original folding creases, horizontal wrinkling, and edge fraying. Some minor edge tears and boundary wear are visible along the margin borders as pictured, but the main image field displays beautifully with bright, vivid lithographic ink colors.

Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to assess condition details before purchasing. Shipped flat and securely protected to prevent shifting.
