Note also that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were 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 folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: fair. The poster has darkened and the paper has become somewhat fragile. it has significant creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges and some other defects that can be clearly seen in our super-sized image and some are repaired with tape from the back.
