Conclusion

THIS POSTER WAS NOT CONSERVED, NOR RESTORED BY POSTER MOUNTAIN INC. The poster was received on cotton canvas with a paper substrate. Microscopic examination has determined this poster to be an original printing.
On the light table the poster shows thinness and losses throughout, with significant areas of damage in the borders. The upper left quadrant is fully separated and the gap has been filled. Tape has been removed from the three horizontal fold lines.
In the lower left border there is a light brown stain approximately 2"x1".
A printing error runs approximately 4" vertically in the helmet of Klaatu.
PREVIOUS INTERVENTIONS:
The entire border has been airbrushed.
Detail restoration done with what appears to be watercolor is visible in the fold lines. Detail work done in the top horizontal fold line, center, does not match its surroundings, and the patching is not flush with the rest of the poster.
