Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned an example of this poster!

Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It has discoloration, creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges and there is some lighter discoloration scattered in the poster. There are some creases scattered in the poster (a few tiny ones almost cut through paper). The poster is in need of restoration. Certainly a top restorer can repair the defects described above, and after, the ultra rare poster will display really well, but please bear in mind the poster's many defects and the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
