If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this Italian two-panel poster was printed in 2 sections (designed to overlap) and when combined, the poster measures approximately 55" x 78" and is currently folded, and fits in our standard mailers. Condition: very good to fine. The top panel of the poster has many tiny tears and tiny areas of paper loss in the left and right vertical folds. The lower panel has similar tears and tiny paper loss in the left and right vertical foldlines. There is an area in each corner of the bottom panel where there is a series of small holes that form the numbers "12 689" (typical of Italian posters of this period). There is a 4" clean tear in the upper left of the lower panel. There are tiny tears along the bottom border of the poster. The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! The defects are basically minor, and the colors are extremely bright. The defects would pretty much completely vanish once the poster is linenbacked, after which the poster will look wonderful, with very little paint restoration anywhere of the poster!
