If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed on the back of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. Condition: very good to fine. Even though the poster was printed on the back of a map, it hardly interferes with the front at all, likely because the front has almost all dark colors. I think most people would not be aware this poster was printed on the back of a map, and it displays quite nicely! Learn More about condition grades
