If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this 30x40 has a silkscreen printed poster with an actual photo area which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the upper left of the 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, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. 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). Also 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: good to very good. There are very light brown stains throughout the 'tipped-in' photo at upper left from exposure to moisture. There are smudges and some minor creases and scuff marks scattered throughout the poster (more so along the foldlines and around the edges). There is a 4" tear in the upper right edge of the poster that has been repaired with tape from the back. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
