If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). good to very good. Poster had tears in the top right of the poster in the image background above the top tagline. It also had small paper loss on some foldlines and at some crossfolds. It had minor smudges and creases throughout, as well as some tears on some foldlines and some border defects, including pinholes in the corners. The poster was pretty well linenbacked, but some of the defects were not restored at all and others are somewhat noticeable. Note that at some point, the poster was roughly handled and there are now minor creases around the edges of the poster (in both the linen and the poster). Learn More about condition grades
