If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned many unusual posters in our time, but THIS poster is beyond that! It is a combination of pieces of several posters that were cut out and then glued together onto a thick piece of paper (similar to the weight of older half-sheets). Parts of the poster resemble an Indian poster, and that may be what this started as, but that is purely a guess, as we have never seen the Indian poster. It is definitely a "Frankenstein"-like poster (stitched together from separate parts that didn't start out together). We have no clue when it was created, but it would seem to be primarily from first release items. Absolutely do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its very unusual features! Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. As noted above, the poster was created by gluing several different pieces of posters together onto a backing. It was then folded once in each direction, and there is some wear on the folds, with vertical tears in the left and right of the middle fold, and pinholes and stains around the edges. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored. Learn More about condition grades
