If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This Belgian poster measures 14" x 18 1/2". Condition: good to very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster was folded along the original half-way point of the poster horizontally, and there were two folds close together in that area, with creases between them. The poster was also folded vertically, but there was only minor wear on this foldline. There were a few smudges and creases within the image area. There were creases, smudges, small tears, a few tiny areas of paper loss, and some stains in the borders. There was a 5" diagonal tear starting in the right border at the end of the title and going down into the tack stamp. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer left alone the many border defects (likely rightfully assuming that the poster would be framed, and that the border defects will not show). This poster will display quite nicely once it is framed! Learn More about condition grades
