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: good to very good. The poster has darkened slightly with age. There is a pin hole and small scratch in the background at center and there are some pin holes and small stains around the edges of the poster. There are minor creases and smudges scattered throughout the poster. There is an area of surface paper loss on the back of the poster at left, but it does not appear to have any effect on the front.
