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 was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has some separation in portions of the edges of some foldlines and some are backed by conservation tape at upper right. There is an old tape repair at lower right. Someone touched up some of the wear along the upper horizontal fold with colored pencil, and with marker in some portions of the lower horizontal fold at lower left. It is otherwise in generally nice condition.
