If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was almost certainly printed in the very late 1930s or in the early 1940s, at a time when most of Europe was undergoing a severe paper shortage due to World War II. So they would take older unused posters, and print new posters on the backs of them! In this particular case, the poster was printed on the back of a portion of a much larger poster that was cut down to make smaller posters. 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: good. The text on the back of the poster bleeds through to the front at left. There is some tattering and small paper loss around the edges of the poster and there is some small paper loss at the crossfold at center (some repaired with tape from the back). The poster has darkened slightly with age. Learn More about condition grades
