If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster was backed onto a very thin linen backing by a theater or exchange that used it, and then re-folded in the normal way. There are some extra creases, tears, and tiny dots of surface paper loss in the bottom of the vertical foldline and a lesser amount on the other folds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. If I owned this poster, I would immediately have a restorer remove it from the thin linen and properly linenback it, after which it will look fantastic (although I can easily imagine a collector happily displaying it just as it is!).
