If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. The poster is somewhat faded. There are some creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1" or less but some are larger) along parts of some edges. A few of the tears or other defects as described above are repaired with tape from the back. Learn More about condition grades
