If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. The poster had some tiny paper loss in the extreme top edge of the left 12" of the top blank border and in the right end of the top blank border. There was some paper loss in the bottom of the right blank border and some tiny bits of paper loss in the bottom of the left blank border. The image area of the poster had only the most minor of wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer left alone the small areas of paper loss in the blank borders described above (likely rightfully assuming they will not show when the poster is framed; any restorer could easily touch up those areas of the blank borders without re-backing the poster).
