If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster has a couple of tiny brown stains to the right of the top tagline area and some pinholes and smudges around the edges of the poster, and some scuffs and creases in the vertical foldline. Other than the above basically minor defects, the poster was in quite nice condition prior to backing. The poster was quite nicely linenbacked, and looks great (although the restorer did not touch up the two tiny brown stains)! Learn More about condition grades
