If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2016 (and now that very same poster has been reconsigned to us for this auction, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned!). 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: fair to good. The poster has darkened. There are some creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths around the edges. Many of the tears or other defects as described above have been repaired with several pieces of tape from the back. There are small bits of surface paper loss scattered in various areas. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid.
