If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is surprisingly rare, especially when compared to other 1940s posters. Likely this is because the movie was incredibly popular when it was released, and it would have been shown over and over, "using up" all the posters. Also, the movie had at least two quick re-releases (in 1948 and 1954), and those would have also used many of the original posters. Condition: good. The poster has pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges, more so down the right blank border. There is a tape repair on the front of the center of the right blank border. There is 4" of separation and small paper loss in the center of the bottom fold, and some small tears in parts of the folds. Someone made many small clear tape repairs on the back of the poster. After a simple linenbacking, the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
