If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other items that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Note also that the color inset image on this paper banner (see our image) was printed on a separate sheet and then attached to that area of the banner (this was commonly done with paper banners, and some 30x40s and 40x60s of this period). This is how the poster was created.

Condition: very good. The poster has a number of creases and scuff marks scattered in various areas, slightly less than typical of paper banners of this time period. Overall the rare banner and its inset image is in pretty nice condition!
