NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this 30x40 (like many others of this period) was created by printing the text areas of the poster first on to a typical heavy stock paper, and then a photographic area (with the two images of Welles) was glued on to the upper right of the poster. This is how all examples of this poster were created and it was done because they could better print the photographic area on this paper than they could on the regular heavy paper stock. Condition: good. The poster was never folded but it has some partial horizontal creases scattered throughout. It has many partial horizontal creases in the top quarter with many scuffs in the top left text area, and a few scuffs scattered in the rest of the poster. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have it restored.
