If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this cloth banner, and it sold for $1,335. That example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! At this time, studios were making paper banners for their releases, but for this major release, Universal made this cloth banner, similar to ones made many years before, and they even included gold fringe at the bottom! The poster has been recently stored rolled, to help reduce the creases, and it could be either sent rolled in a tube or re-folded in a large flat package. But it can't be combined with other rolled posters if it is sent in a tube, due to the thickness of the poster when rolled, so bear that in mind. Condition: good. The banner was stored folded, and there are evenly spaced vertical creases and some other creases scattered in between those. At some point while the banner was folded, it became stained, which resulted in four evenly spaced of staining at the bottom of the cloth, slightly affecting the fringe in each area. One of the stains goes up much higher than the others, into the bottom of the area between the "W" and "S", and affecting both letters. No one ever attempted to restore this in any way. There are surely several options in how to restore this banner, and they would need to be discussed with the most talented professional (and of course, one could choose to display it as it is). One would obviously much prefer to find one without the staining, but we have never auctioned another example of this banner before (see above), and we might never again unless, so it might be a very long wait to find another!
