NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: The poster was placed on to a very thin linen backing shortly after being printed. The purpose was to reinforce the poster, so that it would survive, when it was passed from theater to theater, and when it was put up on walls and taken down. Such posters can be professionally removed from the original linen and placed on to a proper linen backing. I have done this to several such posters, and they end up looking wonderful! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 24 3/4" x 34 1/2" [63 x 88 cm]. Condition: poor to fair. There is creasing and discoloration throughout the poster. The borders have been trimmed from the poster and the Universal logo from the bottom border that was trimmed has been neatly glued to the front of the poster at lower left. There are remnants of snipes at center and there are some tack holes and tears scattered throughout. It may be possible to remove this poster from its old linen and re-back it, but please do not bid unless you are willing to accept its defects or have it restored. Learn More about condition grades
