The condition suggests restoration is necessary, but my personal feeling is that the colour and patina are so wonderful, that I would frame it exactly as is.

Major issues are general fragility, and a piece missing from the bottom of the poster. I will investigate the cost of restoration before a deal is struck, if that is what you desire, but the colour and appearance are so beautiful, that I would be inclined to frame it as it is, or perhaps linen back it without restoration.

Phone, or drop me an email to discuss options and price.
