If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been dry-mounted on to a heavy board backing, prior to being placed into a picture frame. Most collectors choose not to dry-mount their posters, because it means that the poster must always be sent flat, but I have seen many posters that were dry-mounted decades ago, and in no cases did the dry-mounting seem to hurt the poster. Plus, any talented restorer can reverse the dry-mounting process, removing the poster from the backing, and placing it on a linen backing (but this process is more expensive than linenbacking an unbacked poster). Note that the board that the poster was dry-mounted on is quite stiff, and this poster cannot be rolled, and will need to be sent in a large, flat package. Condition: good. The poster has been mounted to a heavy cardboard backing . There is small paper loss the top crossfold and there is some staining in the top of the vertical fold. There are a few pin holes around the edges of the poster and there are some minor smudges and tiny stains scattered throughout. While the poster CAN be removed from the board, it would cost a considerable amount, so please bear that in mind before placing a bid on the poster (although of course, you could just frame and enjoy the poster just as it is).
