If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster was trimmed right to the edge of the top of the artwork. There was a fold across the center with minor wear along the foldline and there was some writing in the right of the bottom blank border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and the restorer put a thin strip of blank white paper in place of the missing top blank border, and also covered over the writing in the bottom blank border.
