If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that many years ago, someone found a number of one-sheets and lobby card sets for this Dwain Esper 1949 re-release, and they have been auctioned many times. However, we have NEVER previously auctioned this window card! Also note that the window card was folded across the center at one time. Because the entire poster is fragile and has condition issues, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, because we believe that re-folding the window card would surely lessen its condition even more, and we won't attempt to re-fold it. Condition: fair to good. The card was folded across the middle and someone put clear tape on the back of that fold, and also on the front of slightly over half of that fold, because there was separation and many creases along that fold, with some tiny paper loss. The card also has some tears and stains around the edges, with paper loss in the right of the bottom blank border and tape on the front and back of the bottom right corner. Obviously, this extremely rare card can be restored, but bear in mind its condition and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on it. Learn More about condition grades
