Artist: Mort Kunstler
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it will be sent rolled in a tube.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period) and a few creases in the lower right blank border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
