If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been laminated! It is quite likely that there is no way to reverse this process. However, I have seen many posters and lobby cards that have been laminated for over 20 years, and the lamination does not hurt the items in any way (and some of the posters were laminated as much as 40 years ago, so it certainly seems that if it were going to damage the item, it would have happened by now!), plus it seems to completely protect them, while allowing them to be easily displayed with no fear of damage. HOWEVER, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED ITEM! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 24 3/4" x 39" [63 x 99 cm]. Note that this laminated poster comes to us from a very longtime collector who, decades ago, had most of his collection laminated. As we said above, even though it has been a very long time since this was done, the posters this collector consigned (11 one-sheets and 8 inserts, in 19 separate auctions) likely look just as they did when he first had them laminated, so they certainly can be displayed and enjoyed. But they all have to be sent in very large flat packages (the one-sheets approximately 29" x 43", and the inserts approximately 16" x 38"), so bear this added expense in mind before bidding. Condition: fair to good. Prior to lamination, no doubt because the poster had very wide left and right blank borders, the person who owned this poster not only trimmed part of the top and bottom blank borders, but they also trimmed around 1" each from the left and right blank borders. The poster had an irregular 10" tear in the center of the title, with a 2" tear at the bottom center of the title that had tape on it, and it also had pinholes around the edges. PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED ITEM! Learn More about condition grades
