Important Added Info: Note that we auctioned this 1946 first release Japanese B3 poster, which measures 15" x 20 1/2" [38 x 52 cm], for the first time ever in 2020. The buyer of the auction did not read the size of the poster, and asked us to re-auction it, which we are doing, but it is still the only example of this wonderful poster we have ever auctioned. 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: very good. The poster was folded across the middle. It had two 1/2" tears near the middle of the right border. Someone put two tiny pieces of tape on the back of those tears and they did slight touch up to the front of the tears. There are two even smaller tears near the middle of the left border that have incredibly tiny tape on the back. Learn More about condition grades
