If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This poster has been paperbacked, which means it was backed onto a paper soon after it was printed (similar to the kraft-backing process, only in this case a thin rice paper-like material was used). One could have it professionally removed from the paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair. The poster has been backed onto a thin paper and there is much tattering and some paper loss along the foldlines and edges. There are many creases and tears scattered throughout the poster. It's likely that a restorer could remove the poster from the old paper backing and after restoration it would look great, but please do not bid unless you are willing to accept the poster's defects!
