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

Important Added Info: 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!

Condition: very good. slightly diagonal crease in the right of the top edge extending into the inset image as well as creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the poster (more so around the edges); a few 3/4" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster
