Hunted... Yet so in love!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 16" [36 x 41 cm]. Note that the window card was folded down the center at one time. Because it would not fit in our standard sized package even if it were re-folded, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, and we believe that re-folding the window card would lessen its condition (we never roll window cards into a tube). If you specifically request it, we will re-fold this window card, but you will not be able to return it.

Condition: good. The card was trimmed, which slightly affects the top of the image (we don't know because we have never seen this ultra rare window card before).
