In very good condition. The poster is printed on thin uncoated paper which has become somewhat brittle and acquired mild wrinkles as well as some tears and minor fraying along the edges. All significant wear has been repaired with library tape on the verso. The colors of the artwork are vibrant and fresh, not faded.

Baron Pyotr Wrangel, aka the Black Baron, was a Russian military officer of Baltic origin in the Imperial Russian Army. During the Russian Civil War, he commanded the anti-Bolshevik White Army in the south of Russia.
