If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that in the 1970s, "decoupage" was in style! What is decoupage? It is gluing a paper image to wood and then lacquering over it, so it appears to have been created that way, and it makes modern image look "vintage". We can't say for certain, but we think it is very likely this decoupage was created in the 1970s. It consists of a heavy piece of wood that has a Casablanca commercial poster attached to it and lacquered over, and there is a hook attached to the back so that it can be displayed on a wall as it is (and such posters were never "framed", but simply displayed as they are). It needs to be sent in a very large (and heavy) flat package that measures approximately 23" x 32". Please bear this added shipping expense in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: good. Something "bumped" the poster and there is surface paper loss in the top left corner. One could simply touch this up with black paint or marker. There are also some scuffs on the surface of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
