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

Condition: good to very good. There are many smudges, creases, and pinholes around the edges of the poster with a much lesser number in the image area.. Note that this poster has never been folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded twice (once horizontally and once vertically) right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970!
