If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card is incredibly rare! We have never auctioned it before. Obviously, one would much prefer to find one without the major condition defects this one has, but it might be many years before another example is offered! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: poor. The card was glued to the back of something (likely used as a backing board!) and there is residue over the entire surface of the card, and some kind of white staining to the left and right of Lake's head (see our image). Obviously, a restorer can greatly improve the appearance of this card, but we don't know how difficult or expensive that would be, so please do not bid on this card unless you are willing to accept the expenses and difficulties involved in having it restored.
