If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap.

Condition: fair. The poster is extremely fragile and there are separations, tiny tears, and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of many foldlines. The poster is mostly "all there", and after linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look great, and will likely need little paint restoration within the image. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its very significant defects and are willing to pay to have them properly restored!
