If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been mounted on to a foamcore backing. Most collectors choose not to mount their posters, because it means that the poster must always be sent flat. Note that the foam board that the poster was mounted on is quite stiff, and this poster cannot be rolled, and will need to be sent in a large, flat package.

Condition: good. The poster had pinholes, creases, and some tears around the edges as well as some minor creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few pinholes scattered throughout the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to being backed. The restorer who backed the poster did not touch up the smudges and scuffs (and I agree with that decision, because to do so would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look. There are several areas around the edges of the foamcore board on the front of the poster that are "sticky" from the poster having been framed at one time (now covered with post-it notes to prevent damage to other posters).
