Important Added Info: Note that we know that Saul Bass created elements of this poster (likely the title design and other aspects), but we don't have definitive evidence that says he was solely responsible for the poster. Until we learn more, we feel it is best to not attribute the poster to Saul Bass. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: fair. There are many significant defects scattered along the edges of the poster, and there is much wear and paper loss along the foldlines and there are several areas of foldline and/or crossfold separation. Many of the defects have been repaired with tape from the back that slightly bleeds through to the front. There are very large tears at left that has been repaired with tape from the back and front. Most of the foldlines are separated and held together by tape, making the poster quite fragile.
