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: very good. There is some smudging throughout the poster, but it is not very distracting if viewed from a reasonable distance, and there is some paper loss and tattering in the blank borders around the edges. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition, especially considering its age, but if one chose to have it restored it would look wonderful!
