If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were 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 folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: very good. There are a few 1" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster (repaired with brown paper tape from the back in the middle of the right edge). There is a small stain in the left of the top edge and there are some smudges around the edges of the poster. Other than the defects in the borders around the edges, the poster is in pretty nice condition.
