If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. 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. Condition: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had been folded once in each direction and had many water stains and scuffs scattered throughout with creases, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed given its many defects, but the restorer did not address many of the faint stains (because doing so would have meant virtually re-painting the poster), but since they are not that distracting, I can still see many collectors displaying and enjoying this poster on their wall.
