If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that the image area of this poster is smaller than the size of the one-sheet, which left a blank area at the bottom of the poster, similar to the top of a window card. This was something RKO experimented with at this time, which would allow theaters to write show times in that bottom area, but it only lasted a short while.

Condition: very good. The poster has two tears in the "MP" of "POMPEII" in the right of the middle foldline, and two corresponding tears at the left of the middle foldline. It has separation and tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. It has pinholes around the edges and one near the center of the image area. It has some extra pinholes in the bottom white area and some smudges around the edges. It has 3" of separation on the left and right ends of the top foldline (repaired with clear tape from the reverse).
