If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. the poster was paperbacked; prior to restoration the poster had creases along the foldlines and some smudges, stains, small tears, and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, but the image and title area had next to no defects; the poster's minor defects were very well corrected during the paperbacking process, and the poster now looks wonderful and there is very little paint within the image area (it appears the letters of the title and the stars' credits at bottom have had some paint restoration, but it is so well done that it is difficult to tell exactly how much was done! I would think any collector would be extremely happy to have this rare poster displayed on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
