Rats... in evening dress! Aircraft plant destroyed!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. The poster had paper loss in the bottom right corner (extending into the solid black background) and blank paper loss in each of the other three corners (caused by rough staple removal). Someone glued a piece of white paper to the back of each corner, in a case of an amateur repair (in the lower right corner). They colored in the black area that was missing. There was much separating on folds and there is clear tape on the back of much of the bottom border and also paper tape on the back of the vertical foldline (just below the top crossfold) and also tape on the back of the upper left border. There are small tears and tiny paper loss in the bottom 1/4 of the vertical foldline. The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! After linenbacking by a talented professional, the flaws noted above would pretty much vanish, and the poster would look great and there would be little paint anywhere on the poster.
