If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that during World War II (WWII), some Australian daybills were printed with a "full bleed" on the left and right sides, meaning they had no blank borders. Apparently, this was done to save on paper during World War II. I had been told by one of the foremost experts on Australian daybills that he does not believe this poster to be trimmed (looking at it extremely closely, the borders seem far too perfect to be trimmed, so I agree) and I am also told it is the only example of this poster he is aware of! Condition: very good to fine. the poster was lightly folded in half an extra time resulting in three extra light horizontal foldlines; small paper loss in the bottom left blank corner; looking at the back of the poster, I can see light water stains across the middle foldline, but the only trace of it you can see from the front is a very slight discoloration in Anne Shirley's neck; a tiny tear near the right end of the foldline that runs through Trevor's hair (the 1/4" tear is in her hair). Other than the above, the poster is in quite nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
