If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this style B half-sheet, and only one in the last 7 years! Note that this poster was gel backed, and while it could be rolled and sent in a tube, we would worry that doing so would either damage the poster or bring back the folds. Therefore, we would much prefer to send it in a large flat package. However, if the new buyer insists, we will send it in a tube, but only if they accept responsibility for doing so. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It had darkened and had smudges and a few tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to gel backing. The poster was well backed, although the restorer left alone the darkening. However, after it was backed, it acquired a 4" semi-circular tear in the left border and a tear in the bottom left corner, and someone put tape on the back of those areas. It also acquired surface paper loss in the center of the top border and in the top right corner. Please bear all of the above in mind and look at our super-sized image before bidding.
