If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a very rare and desirable poster, made more desirable by the fact that the one-sheet has a pink background, and is not all that well designed! We have only auctioned three examples of this poster, but only one in the past 15 years, and that one, which we auctioned 7 years ago, sold for $3,100. 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. The poster has a tiny bit of fine surface paper loss on the bottom fold. It has a line of bits of surface paper loss in the bottom blue background area, but fortunately, it does not go into the letters of the title (it is under each of the words of the title; see our image). The poster was framed, and someone put 1" wide tape on the back of all four borders, but it was not for a restoration purpose, so it likely kept the poster in place in the frame. The entire back of the poster has darkened. It affects the front of all four borders, mostly in the extreme outer edges, but also somewhat in the rest of the borders. While I would think some collectors could happily display and enjoy this extremely rare and desirable poster as it is, I would think it would make more sense to have it professionally restored. That would fix the tiny surface paper loss described above, and also stabilize the poster onto an acid-free backing. Either way, it will look incredible on the new owner's wall!
