Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned three examples of this one-sheet, and only one example in the last 23 years, and that one sold for $1,849! Condition: good. There is light rippling scattered in portions of the poster due to exposure to moisture (however there is not much noticeable slight discoloration except at lower center where there are some older tape repairs behind some tears and in the blank borders.) There are some pinholes around the edges and the red NSS ink pad stamp on back of the lower right blank border has bled through to the front. It has some creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges as well as some blank border loss at upper left. Still, the artwork of the poster is "all there" and the poster still could be displayed and enjoyed, but after linenbacking with some proper restoration the poster will display well (but of course see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this rare poster and bear in mind the cost of restoration before placing a bid.)
