Artist: Hans Hillmann

Condition: fair to good. The poster was placed on to a very thin linen backing shortly after being printed. The purpose was to reinforce the poster, so that it would survive, when it was passed from theater to theater, and when it was put up on walls and taken down. Such posters can be professionally removed from the original linen and placed on to a proper linen backing. It has creases and rippling from the glue used, and there are some other defects that can be clearly seen in our super-sized image.
