If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This German poster measures 23 1/4" x 34" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had writing on the back of the center of the image (in the shadow's shoulder). You can see traces of it when the poster is tilted to the light, but it is really not noticeable when the poster is looked at straight on. There is a light scuff mark across the chest of the shadow. There were smudges in the background area to the left of the shadow's leg. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed (but the above minor defects are still slightly noticeable). I would think many collectors would be happy to display this striking poster, but please be sure to read the above description carefully before bidding! Learn More about condition grades
