If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned four examples of this poster in the last 26 years (and the last two examples were linenbacked and this one is not!).

Condition: good to very good. The poster has creases, tiny tears and tiny paper loss along portions of the blank borders (some of which have slightly darkened). It has light fold wear, with tiny separation in the crossfolds. It has a small tear in the upper and lower right horizontal folds (approximately 3 1/2" from the crossfolds - see our image). There are small slightly diagonal creases above and below the top and bottom crossfolds. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after linenbacking with some proper restoration the very rare poster will look great!
