If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this paper banner! Also note that this banner is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual color photo which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the left side of the poster). Paper banners were sometimes made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Note that this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other items that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: good. There is a 1" tear in the middle of the left border that has tape on the back, and the left 2" of the poster were folded back at one time. There are scuffs scattered in the white letters of the title and a lesser number of scuffs scattered in the rest of the title and credits area. The tipped-in image has many scuffs, more so in the bottom right corner. Learn More about condition grades
