If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has some tears, dot stains and smudges around the edges. There are some scuff marks in and around the art of Wallace at center and there are some less noticeable scuffs in a few other areas. It is otherwise in generally nice condition.
