If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and many tears directly above the top crossfold (in the center of Wyler's credit), and some small horizontal tears in the 6" of the vertical foldline above the bottom crossfold. There were some tears in the orange background areas and some pinholes and tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
