If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that most of the examples of this poster we have seen have a clearly different color scheme where there are mostly greens and yellows in the image area. This poster has a much more purple color in the image area (although the title is the same color as the other examples). We don't know if this means it is a variation, or if some sort of fading caused this color change. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster may have faded . Otherwise, it had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and many creases and scuffs on parts of some foldlines (and the poster was folded in half an extra time). Other than the possible fading, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well (but if it is faded, then we would lower the grade to "good").
