If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a very rare uncut printer's test! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Commonly, they would leave the color chart on the left edge of the poster, which added an extra 2 1/4" to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 29 1/4" x 41"). These printer's tests would then be shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, and once they were completely approved, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine, there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! In the case of this poster, the choice was made to go with a silver color on the title instead of the white seen here. Except for one very rare example, all Vader advance posters have the title in silver! Condition: very good to fine. There is a 1" tear near the middle of the right border and some very tiny tears in the bottom of the left blank border, but otherwise, the poster is in nice condition! Note that this poster is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
