If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that Glenn Cravath created the art seen on the three-sheet, and a knowledgeable collector believes that Cravath he also created the art for the one-sheet. However, we cannot be 100% certain. If anyone has definitive proof such as signed original art, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Condition: very good to fine. There is 1" of separation with tiny paper loss at the bottom crossfold and there are extra creases to the left and right of the vertical foldline. There are some very tiny tears and even tinier paper loss in the left of the top blank border. Other than the above, the poster is in pretty nice condition, and after a simple linenbacking, it will look wonderful!
