If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. There is light rippling and slight discoloration scattered in portions of the poster due to exposure to moisture. It has some creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1" or less but some are larger) along portions of some edges (partially repaired with tape from the back). Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
