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

Condition: fair. The poster is creased and lightly water stained throughout. There was an extra vertical foldline 1" to the right of the regular vertical foldline, and someone put tape on the back of the top quarter of that extra vertical foldline, putting paper behind three areas in the blank background that had small paper loss. They put small pieces of tape on the front of each of those areas and on the front of the center of the top border and in a few other border areas. There was paper loss in the top right and bottom left blank corners, and someone taped a piece from another poster to the back of those areas. The poster IS in urgent need of expert professional restoration, but it is fortunate that much of the defects are in the blank borders and white background areas. After proper restoration and linenbacking by a talented professional, this poster will look quite nice (although there will be a fair amount of paint restoration required in the borders and background areas). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the defects described above, or are willing to pay to have them properly restored, and unless you have carefully read the above, and carefully studied our super-sized image!
