NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: M.G. Important Added Info: Note that we have NEVER auctioned this poster before! Condition: fair. The poster has darkened on the folds and it is quite fragile. It has tiny tears and small paper loss across the top and bottom borders, and a lesser amount in the left border. It has some small pieces of white conservation tape on the back, and a long piece on the back of the top half of the vertical fold, where there was separation. There was once two pieces of tape on the back of the center of the top border and one on the back of the top right corner, and that tape is gone, but it bled through to the front. Obviously, this poster has very real condition issues. But it is also very true that any talented restorer can completely restore this poster, and after proper restoration, it will look fantastic, and it will require little paint restoration within the image area.
