If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed on the back of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. Condition: very good. The poster was printed on the back of a map , and you can see the map printing from the front in all the light background areas, and also slightly in the skin and light clothing of the stars. It is truthfully not very distracting from any reasonable viewing distance, and of course, it is very likely that all examples of this poster would have the same exact defect. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but there is the "map bleedthrough" described above. Learn More about condition grades
