If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! This is an uncut printer's test poster (often referred to as a "printer's proof")! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Because they needed to be shown to people at the studio, people in the art department, etc, they would print a number of test posters and distribute them to these people. Once these printer's test posters were shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. 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 a few tears of varying lengths around the edges (some are slightly large) and some paper loss in a few edges (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
