If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had been folded once in each direction and there were many creases and scuffs along both folds and lots of creases and scuffs in the upper right of the poster and down the left 2", with a lesser amount of creases and scuffs scattered in the rest of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed without a lot of paint restoration, and the paperbacking process has greatly minimized how noticeable the creases, scuffs, and other minor defects are, and I think this great poster will display well on anyone's wall!
