If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an INCREDIBLY RARE set of 8 progressive printer's proofs! Before a printer would print a poster, they would create separations for each of the colors in the poster (normally between 4 and 8 colors), and then they would print individual posters for each of the colors. Once those were approved, they would then run test posters with all the colors. Finally, when those test posters were approved, they would run the complete print job. You occasionally see individual printer's proofs for single colors, but it is incredibly rare to see all of the progressive proofs for a single job.

Condition: good to very good. Each has pairs of staple holes, creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1/2" or less but some are larger) around the edges and each has darkened on the back at upper and lower center. Otherwise, they are in generally nice condition.
