If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14 1/4" x 19 1/2". Condition: good to very good. The poster had a blank top that was trimmed off. It was roughly folded across the middle and there were many creases and scuffs across that area. There was a tape stain and a pinhole in each corner and some stains in the top 1" of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are surprisingly not very distracting (and any restorer could possibly touch them up without re-backing the poster).
