If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are slightly noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had tiny tears, creases, extremely tiny paper loss across some of the middle foldline, less wear on the other foldlines, and pinholes in the corners. There is a censor stamp in the lower right in the red background area. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer chose to leave alone the censor stamp in the bottom right corner. Learn More about condition grades
