If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded 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! Condition: very good. There are many creases, smudges, and tiny tears around the edges of the poster (someone put tape on the back of several areas of the borders where there were small tears). There is a large rectangular box of an outline of staining near the center of the poster (starting in the bottom half of the "T" of "THEM!", and running down to the top half of the image of the girl in the mandible). There is a similar, even lighter stain in the image area above the "M" of "THEM!" (it looks like something might have once been sitting on the poster that left these stains). There are light creases throughout the poster, likely caused by rolling and unrolling. The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! None of the above defects are all that distracting, and I could imagine many people happily displaying this poster as it is. Certainly, a talented restorer could paperback this poster, repair its minor defects, and touch up the odd rectangular staining described above, after which the poster would look great, and there would be little actual restoration to the image, except for the touch up described above.
