If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: fair. There are smudges and stains scattered throughout the card, with some tears and paper loss around the edges. There was a semi-circular tear in the middle left that detached a piece of the card, and a vertical tear in the top, and both were repaired with tape from the back. The poster is fragile. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored. Learn More about condition grades
