If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this one-sheet, and that was 30 years ago, when it sold for $605, and this is the very same poster that was bought then that has been reconsigned, so it is stilll the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned! Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm].

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had folded in half an extra time, and it had pretty minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
