If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine 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 machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has creases, smudges, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges and some smudges and scuffs scattered in various areas. It has tiny pen writing at left in the blank area. After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
