If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is the first 1938 re-release movie paper of any type we have sold for this movie in all of our years of auctioning! We auctioned this poster twice before, but in both cases it was the same poster, so it is still the only 1938 re-release movie paper we have ever auctioned.

Condition: good to very good. The poster was hand-folded slightly off of its machine fold lines which has caused several creases along the folds. There are pinholes, creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges. The poster is relatively rare and its condition can be greatly improved with linenbacking, but please bear in mind its defects before placing a bid.
