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

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned an example of this poster! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: fair to good. The poster has complete separation in the upper horizontal fold, almost full separation in the lower horizontal fold, and much separation in the center horizontal fold. The top and bottom folds are repaired with tape from the back. There is small paper loss at upper right. Fortunately the separation it mostly relatively clean, and after proper restoration the ultra rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
