Artist: Yves Prince Important Added Info: Note that, for this 1980s French re-release, the French poster designer re-drew the image from the 1938 U.S. re-release one-sheet (which has been endlessly seen, because it was reproduced as a Portal Publication repro!). Given that the 1938 re-release poster is extremely rare, it seems likely that the poster was based on the Portal artwork! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
