Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this six-sheet, and that was 31 years ago!

Note that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Also note that this poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Finally, note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces).

Note that normally we don't auction three-sheets in this set of auctions (which is for items that need to be sent in very oversized packages). However, this six-sheet was not folded in the usual way. It was folded in an odd fashion which results in the folded poster measuring approximately 14" x 14", so the poster will have to be sent in a larger-than-usual flat package that measures around 16" x 16", which is why it is in this set of auctions.

Condition: good. The poster is kraftbacked (see above). There is a snipe in the top right corner and four foreign stamps in the title area.
