NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. There are many light water stains scattered through the poster. There were creases, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, and someone took pieces of other posters and taped them to the back of the areas of paper loss, and also taped over the repairs on both the front and back of the borders. There was an area of paper loss 2" above the top crossfold where someone taped a piece of another poster to the back of that area. There are creases and smudges throughout the poster. Obviously, this great poster has many major defects, but it is also true that the best and most talented restorers could take this poster, and after removing all of the tape and amateur repairs, can linenback it, and after proper restoration, the poster will look great, and it will require some paint restoration, but not a lot, and it will display fantastically on anyone's wall. But please do not bid on this poster unless you have carefully read the above, and have carefully studied our super-sized image! Learn More about condition grades
