If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is extremely rare. We have never auctioned it before! Also note that this poster has been laminated! It is quite likely that there is no way to reverse this process. However, I have seen many posters and lobby cards that have been laminated for over 20 years, and the lamination does not hurt the items in any way (and some of the posters were laminated as much as 40 years ago, so it certainly seems that if it were going to damage the item, it would have happened by now!), plus it seems to completely protect them, while allowing them to be easily displayed with no fear of damage. HOWEVER, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED ITEM! Also note that this poster can't be rolled and must be sent in a large flat package. Condition: fair to good. Prior to being laminated (see above), the poster had entirely separated across the horizontal fold and had tiny paper loss at the crossfold, and someone put clear tape on the front of the crossfold in each direction. They also put clear tape on the front of the top of the vertical fold, where there was separation. There were also many pinholes, tears, and some paper loss around the edges, and there are pieces of clear tape on many of those areas. The entire poster had darkened and there are stains in the lower center of the title that extend below it into the credits. There was much paper tape on the back of the poster. Many years ago, someone had the poster laminated exactly as it is, so all of the above defects are preserved within the lamination (see our image). The lamination is almost surely not reversible, so there is no need to think about restoring the poster's defects, but on the other hand, it has likely been laminated for decades, and those defects have not gotten any worse! Obviously, one would prefer to find a better example of this poster that is not laminated, but we have never had one before, and might never have one again. In spite of its many defects, it can certainly be displayed and enjoyed exactly as it is, but PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED ITEM!
