If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good. There is a thin vertical area of paper loss at the bottom crossfold and there is some tattering around the edges of the poster from rough removal of tacks. There are creases across the top and along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster. There are some stains and smudges scattered throughout the poster (mostly at lower left in the credits area and around the edges). The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition and after it is restored it will look wonderful!
