If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the last time we auctioned an example of this poster it sold for $345! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has creases and scuffs scattered in various areas throughout (see our image). There are a few tiny dot stains. It has several creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1" or less but some are larger) along portions of some edges and some are backed by tape, and there appears to be diagonal paper loss in the lower right corner that has been backed with many pieces of brown paper tape and some paper from the front. It is otherwise "mostly all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
