Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also 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 small separation at the top of the vertical foldline that has been repaired with tape from the back. There is some darkening around the edges and foldlines, typical of vintage French posters.
