If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this pre-War Belgian poster, and that was 10 years ago. The person who purchased that poster has now reconsigned it to us, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. There are creases and a few tiny tears around the edges, with some small separation at the ends of the folds. There are a few pinholes and small tears in the borders. There are some stains in the middle of the left border, and there is a partial extra horizontal fold just above the regular middle one. Learn More about condition grades
