Very Good

The poster presents very well overall with deep blacks, metallic gray tones and strong red rose-petal coloration.

From the supplied photographs, visible characteristics include:

• Light surface marks and handling wear visible under direct lighting
• Fine surface scuffing in portions of the darker background
• A noticeable diagonal surface crease / handling line near the upper-right area
• Minor edge and corner wear
• Slight natural waviness from rolled storage
• Light localized handling impressions
• No traditional fold lines
• No major tears or significant paper loss visible
• Main artwork, title and billing block remain clean, bold and highly displayable

The central rose-petal artwork remains especially strong and visually dramatic.

Please review all photographs carefully. The photographs show the exact poster being offered and form part of the condition description.
