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 Belgian poster, and that was 12 years ago. The buyer of that example had the poster linenbacked, and it has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned!

Note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the middle crossfold and some tiny creases in the middle foldline. There was paper loss in the top blank corners and there was a piece of tape on the back of each corner where there were tiny pinholes. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
