Important Added Info: Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. 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. UPDATED 9/13/2010: Note the a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this was a 1960s re-release and NOT a 1947 first release. Please do not bid thinking this is a 1947 first release. Condition: good to very good. There is a tax stamp in the artwork at lower right (it appears this stamp may have been added to the poster later). There are some tack holes around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
