If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster measures 26 3/4" x 40 3/4" [68 x 104 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. There is a circular stain in the edge of Dean's inset image at lower left. There are creases scattered throughout the poster (some from it being rolled as well as folded). There are several pairs of staple holes around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition and a restorer could remove the poster from the paper and properly linenback it, after which it will look great! Learn More about condition grades
