If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that the last time we auctioned an example of this great poster was 8 years ago! There is a 4" x 6" mailing label glued to the back of the bottom center of the poster, indicating it was mailed from a Toronto poster exchange to "Mark Ricci", a New Jersey collector from long ago. The poster exchange mailed the three-sheet without an envelope! We wonder how long ago that was that they didn't even bother to put it in a mailing envelope, much less add cardboard! Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap.

Condition: good to very good. There is a mailing label attached to the back of the bottom center (see above) and there are some light stains on the back of that part of the poster that have little effect on the front. There is some darkening on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded. There are some creases and several tears along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on some foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds.
