If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Belgian poster! Also note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!).

The poster had tears and paper loss on parts of the folds, with a tear running from MacDonald's cheek to the bottom border and another tear running from the bottom of the "N" of "FRANCISCO" down to MacDonald's hair. It had two tears in the top border that went into the credits area. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
