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

Condition: fair. The entire poster has faded somewhat. There are many water stains and pairs of staple holes scattered through the image. There is a scratch and surface paper loss in Hunter's neck. There is a 14" razor cut in the middle left of the image, which has a piece of paper tape on the back of it. There is a 16" jagged tear in the lower right of the poster, which was repaired with paper tape from the back. There is an oval-shaped area of paper loss in the right of the bottom border, affecting John Ford's credit. Obviously, this poster has a huge number of problems, so please do not bid on it unless you can accept those defects, or are willing to have them properly restored.
