NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this six-sheet, and that was 24 years ago, when it sold for $6,900! Also note that this poster was folded slightly oddly, so it will need to be sent in a flat package that measures approximately 14" x 18". Also note that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Condition: fair to good. The poster is fragile and it has many pinholes around the edges, with some tears and tiny areas of paper loss. There are some brown paper tape and clear tape repairs on the back of the poster. There are two small areas of the poster where tears have completely separated that small area from the rest of the poster, and those will be sent together with the poster. In spite of the above defects, the poster is mostly "all there" (as seen in our super-sized image), and after linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic. However, please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its many defects described above and are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
