If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. The card was found in a frame and it had its blank top mostly trimmed, and it had darkened considerably on the back, and it has darkened in the top right blank corner, and there are some brown dot stains around the edges. There are a few tiny brown dot stains in the image and some faint smudges in the white background areas. Other than the above, the card is in pretty nice condition and will display great exactly as it is, or of course, any talented restorer could perform restoration (it has never had any)!
