That's what you are Paxton... a soft, yellow thing..."; "He had a wife he didn't know, a kid he never saw and a life bouncing crazy like a blue note blowing wild.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had creases and tiny dots of paper loss down parts of the vertical foldline and a lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds. There was a faint diagonal scuff in the upper right going through the lower part of the girl's face. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I can imagine some collectors displaying this poster just as it is, and accepting the defects and signs of restoration, although other collectors would only display it if it had additional restoration.
