If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 24 years ago, when it sold for $3,220! Also note that this jumbo window card is not "roll-able", because the paper is thick enough and it is fragile enough that rolling it would damage it. Therefore we will send it in a large flat package that measures approximately 24" x 30". Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Condition: good to very good. The poster has nail holes and tiny paper loss in the top 1", with a 2" tear near the center. It has some small nail holes scattered in the bottom 3" of the image, and some brown stains in the bottom border. It has a 2" tear in the lower left border that extends into the background. Someone put tape on the back of the small nail holes in the bottom of the image and performed slight restoration to the front of those areas, but otherwise did no restoration. Because of the location of the defects, the poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or certainly, additional restoration could be performed. Either way, the new owner will have a wonderful poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
