Artist: Barry E. Jackson
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: good to very good. The poster was never fully folded, but it was partially slightly folded back at one time vertically at center, and then it was also likely compressed while rolled at one time, leaving behind some light or partial vertical creases and fine creases scattered in various areas (see our image). It has a tear at left that slightly enter the art area. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid.
