If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had an extra middle horizontal fold just slightly above the regular one. It had minor wear on the foldlines, with a couple of tiny tears just above the middle crossfold. It had minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
