If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this half-sheet, and only one in the last 18 years! Note that this poster could conceivably be rolled in a tube, but because it is old and somewhat fragile, we intend to send it in a large flat package, and will only send it rolled if the new owner accepts responsibility if it is damaged from being rolled. Please bear this in mind before placing your bid on this rare poster. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has 5 tears along the lower blank border and a few tiny tears at left, with some small blank border loss at upper left. Those tears and area of paper loss are backed by restoration tape. There is a slightly larger tear at center right that extends into the background area (also repaired with tape from the back). There is some slight discoloration in the lower right blank border. The image area itself has a few minor scuffs, but otherwise the image is in nice condition, and it would display quite well as is, but also after a pretty simple paperbacking the poster would look great!
