If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed on the back of an old circus poster! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. Also note that this poster was folded across the middle at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. There is a large tear in the left of the top edge (repaired with tape from the back) as well as tattering and small paper loss around the edges of the poster. There is tax stamp at lower left. There are creases and some areas of discoloration throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
