Artist: Kupfer Sachs

Condition: very good to fine. The poster has the tiniest of separation at the crossfolds. It was framed for many years and there is a tiny strip of darkening on the extreme outer edge of the blank borders, and faint rippling scattered in the poster, but otherwise, the poster is in absolutely wonderful condition, and it has never had any tape or any sort of restoration!

This item has only a few VERY minor imperfections. We may have written just a few words about those imperfections, but we may not have, as they are very minor. Note that we are very harsh condition graders, and that our "very good to fine" compares favorably to many dealers' "fine" condition! You should look at our "super-sized" image of the actual item, which will confirm just how nice this item is!
