It's purpose shall be to serve as the enforcement arm of the underworld.

Important Added Info: Note that the collector who consigned this poster (and 17 others, mostly one-sheets and inserts, but also three others) had those 18 posters displayed in his home in a different way, but one that was highly effective for this collector. He brought the 18 posters to the "Museum Mount Gallery" in Los Angeles, California, and they took each of the posters and placed them on a 1/4" thick corrugated board that had a colored border around the edges, and they then shrink-wrapped the poster tightly and attached a sturdy cardboard hanging mount to the back. This allowed the collector to simply put a nail in the wall and then hang the poster on it, and there was no need for expensive framing. The poster will be sent to the new buyer exactly as the collector had it on his wall, with the shrink-wrap and the hanger on the back, so the new owner can immediately display it. Our consignor specifically requested that the posters be attached without adhesive (relying on the shrink wrap to keep the posters in place) and that 100% rag acid-free corrugated backing board be used. However, we know of cases where framers and gallery owners have NOT followed the instructions they were given, so it is possible that some of these posters ARE attached to the backing board, and it is also possible that some of the backing boards are not acid-free. We do not know if this poster is attached or not, because we do not want to open the shrink-wrap (because that would ruin the shrink-wrap) so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty of whether or not it is attached to the backing in any way. Please realize that this item will require shipping in a very large flat package. Condition: very good. The item has been 'museum mounted' (see above for a more detailed description of what that means). The poster has some minor creases, smudges, and scattered throughout. Overall, the poster is in pretty nice condition and it displays well. Learn More about condition grades
