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 style B half-sheet, and that was 9 years ago. That poster has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and some tiny bits of paper loss in the right half of the horizontal fold, and creases and scuffs on the other parts of the folds. It had some minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
