If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this 30x40 is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual black & white photo which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the lower left corner of the poster). This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time! Paper banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Condition: poor to fair. There are creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered throughout. There are some stains at right due to exposure to the elements. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
