Artist: Al Hirschfeld
Important Added Info: Note that our consignor has been a collector for many decades, and 33 years ago he sent this poster to Al Hirschfeld and asked him to autograph it, and Mr. Hirschfeld kindly signed it with his distinctive signature and added "signed 3/14/90" by it. Our consignor does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we are certain the signature is authentic.

Condition: fair to good. The poster has several pieces of brown paper tape and white paper tape on back of the vertical fold and some of the back of the upper left border. There is much staining on the back of the top right corner of the poster and some scattered through the poster along with creases and rippling and tears around the edges. The poster has darkened somewhat and is fragile. It absolutely needs to be sent to a talented restorer, both so they can reverse the above defects, but also that they can protect the signature while they are doing so. After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear all the above in mind and look at our super-sized image before bidding on this poster.
