If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: very good. There is a tiny pinhole in between Karloff's eyes, one on the side of his nose and a 1" scratch in the right of his lip. There is small separation at each crossfold with tiny paper loss at the bottom crossfold. There is a pinhole in the temple of the girl at bottom left and 2" of separation at the left of the middle foldline. Other than the above, the poster is in pretty good condition, and after a simple linenbacking, it will look wonderful, and there will be almost no paint restoration anywhere on the poster!
