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 only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2010!

Condition: good to very good. The poster has slight discoloration due to exposure to moisture mainly only along the lower horizontal fold (see our image). It has pinholes around the edges (some are torn or enlarged due to rough removal and some of the rough removal has caused a few areas of paper loss in the borders). It has a few light creases scattered in some areas. It is otherwise in generally nice condition and after linenbacking (at which time most if not all of the staining along the lower horizontal fold could be removed by chemical means and the defects in the blank borders could be addressed) the rare poster would look great!
