If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this 30x40 is a silkscreen printed poster. This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time! Paper banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Condition: good. There are creases and some tears around the edges, and there are some dot stains, smudges and creases scattered in the image, typical of 30x40s of this period (see our image). There are several areas of deterioration and paper loss due to exposure to moisture along portions of the lower edge. Learn More about condition grades
