If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this 30x40 is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual 20" x 20 3/4" image which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the upper right of the poster). This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Condition: good. There are some creases and scuffs scattered in various areas (see above). There is a 14" tear at upper right that has been repaired with tape from the back. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
