Artist: Howard Terpning Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "Cinerama" poster from this car racing movie. When the Cinerama movies were first released, the studios printed posters with large Cinerama logos, but when the movies moved to a wider run (including theaters without Cinerama projectors) the studios printed new posters either without the Cinerama logo or with it greatly reduced. Cinerama posters from Cinerama movies are far more rare than the "non-Cinerama" posters! Finally, note that this subway poster measures 44 1/2" x 59 1/2". Condition: very good. there is small separation at four crossfolds; there are some light stains in the upper left corner (fortunately mostly in the whit background, but extending into the "U" of "YOU"); diagonal creases in the top left corner going into the Cinerama logo; creases and many smudges in the top right corner extending into the edge of the image box; pinholes in the corners; tears in the bottom 8" of the middle vertical foldline; minor creases along most folds; the top blank border is somewhat tattered and there are some tears and creases on the other borders. Note that while this poster is not in perfect condition, it is the sort that responds very well to linenbacking. A simple backing by a talented professional would make the folds and the creases along them mostly invisible, and this rare and desireable poster would look wonderful, and it would have little paint anywhere in the image area!
