If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of seven British quads that were consigned to us by a man who has worked in the film industry for many years. A long time ago, he acquired these British quads when he worked with 20th Century-Fox, and he has kept them carefully stored for many years, which accounts for some of them being in wonderful condition (the condition varies, as can be seen by visiting the seven auctions)! Anyone who collects British quads knows how rare it is to find ones from the 1950s in any condition, and to find them in at all nice condition almost never happens. This is a rare opportunity to acquire these ultra scarce posters (which are in seven separate auctions)! Also note that this poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical machine fold) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good to fine. Other than some very minor border wear around the edges, the poster is in quite remarkable condition and it looks fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
