If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good to very good. The poster had creases and separation on parts of some foldlines and some minor border defects. There was an NSS stamp on the back of the top center of the poster, and it bled through into the top of the yellow background area. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer left alone the bleed through from the NSS stamp (any restorer could touch up that area without re-backing the poster).
