Artist: Deschamps Important Added Info: This 24-sheet poster was folded in a way that makes it resemble a tri-folded six-sheet (only much larger, of course, as there are more sections). But the length and width of the folded 24-sheet is just about the same as that of a folded six-sheet or three-sheet. This means that this 24-sheet needs to be sent in an oversized flat package, which will measure roughly 16" x 38", and approximately 2" high, and it will cost more to send than a regular sized package. This twenty-four sheet was printed in 12 sections. Condition: very good to fine. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on some foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. There is some darkening and slight extra wear on the part of the back of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, typical of folded twenty-four-sheets (but it has little effect on the front of the poster). Overall, the poster does have some darkening and slight staining on the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, but certainly, it has likely survived in about as good condition as one might've hoped after 40 years, and this may well be the sole surviving example of this great poster!
