If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good. This poster was well restored, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). good. It appears to have had a large number of pinholes, areas of paper loss, tears, and creases all around the edges of the poster, extending into artwork on all four sides. It appears that the person who did the restoration did about a good a job as possible. From a couple of feet away the poster looks quite nice, and you don't have a sensation of a poster that has been heavily restored. Only when you look very closely can you see that there were a lot of tiny areas of restoration all around the poster, and you can still see some pinholes where no restoration was done. While anyone would obviously prefer a better condition copy, I would say that most people would appreciate this poster framed on the wall, and would not focus in on the defects.
