If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is the poster that was printed when the movie first opened at the end of 1966, so that it would qualify for the Academy Awards. After it won the Best Picture Award, all new posters were printed, and the "pre-Academy Awards" one-sheets were discarded. This pre-Academy Award one-sheet is far more rare than the post-awards one-sheet for this wonderful movie (for every pre-awards one-sheet we have auctioned, we have auctioned around five post-awards one-sheets)!
