If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this poster, and only one in the past 22 years! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but because it has been laying flat for a long time our intention is to send it rolled in a tube. However, because we are certain it would not harm it to re-fold it (because the folds are still there and have not diminished), we can also re-fold it if the buyer needs it to be shipped with folded items. Condition: good. The card has darkened slightly, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period, but less so than most Warner Bros. linen inserts of this time. It has a lot of extra horizontal folds, with some in between the regular folds, and some right next to them. There are also some vertical creases scattered throughout the poster. A talented restorer can likely "press and flatten" the poster and greatly reduce how noticeable the creases are, but bear this in mind before bidding on this poster.
