Artist: Reynold Brown
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this style A half-sheet, and the last one was 14 years ago! We are also currently auctioning a rare style B half-sheet in a separate auction. Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine 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 machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has a 1" tear in the left blank border that has a piece of tape on the back and a similar tear in the left of the bottom border. There are two tears in the right blank border, with tiny paper loss by one tear, and both have tape on the back. There are some creases and faint smudges scattered in the center of the poster. Otherwise, it is in nice condition!
