This poster is part of a large collection owned by a local retailer in Manchester NH. Sometime in the 1950's to preserve this and many other posters from further damage, they were placed on poster board (not attached) and sealed in plastic. This poster is in excellent condition considering it is a hundred years old. There is no color fade  and minimal staining or crease marks..There are two old tape marks along the top of this poster that were used during original display. The calculated shipping costs are based on not disturbing the poster from its current  protective coverings. To ship via a round tube and removing from its protective shield is also available. Shipping costs would be reduced dramatically but also the risk of additional damage to the poster is increased.
