Artist: Reynold Brown Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. There is paper loss in the bottom right blank corner and creases, smudges, and tears around the edges of the poster. There is a series of dot stains in the top of the second "A" of "TARANTULA" in the title, extending into the background above it. The poster was never machine folded, and it displays pretty well just as it is, but certainly, any talented restorer could paperback the poster, and after restoration of the above pretty minor defects, the poster will look fantastic!
