If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there is some conflicting information about who created the art for this item. It is most often associated with Reynold Brown, but the website for Fred Fixler has the raw art (without any text) featured on it, and we have heard from two collectors who have the poster signed by Mr. Fixler. If anyone has further information, please e-mail us. Condition: good to very good. There is an approximately 1/2" semi-circular area of paper loss in the area of the stairs in the artwork background in the left edge of the poster. There is a 1" area of separation and tiny paper loss in the left of the bottom horizontal fold in the artwork background and there is a small amount of water staining in that area and in the middle of the bottom edge of the poster. There is approximately 1" of separation in the bottom crossfold. There are a few pairs of staple holes in the corners of the poster, but they are not very noticeable. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and I'm sure most collectors would be quite happy with it as it is, but if one chose to have it restored it would look great with little paint restoration needed!
