If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that Republic Pictures did something VERY "sneaky" when they decided to re-release this movie in 1952, just three years after the original release. They printed more posters, extremely similar to the 1949 posters (we know of one-sheets and three-sheets, but there were likely other sizes as well), and they were surely printed from the original plates, because they are exactly identical to the originals in every way, EXCEPT that they changed the litho number on both the one-sheets and three-sheets they printed in 1952, and also the position of the studio logo changed on the three-sheet, and really oddly, they put the 1949 NSS on the 1952 re-release one-sheet, even though it was not on the 1949 one-sheet! The poster offered here is one of the 1952 re-release three-sheets, that looks almost identical to the 1949 poster, except for its different litho number and changed placement of the studio logo. Note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap.

Condition: fair to good. The poster had a number of small tears in the bottom of the larger section, more along the foldlines, and someone put paper tape on the back of many of those tears. There are some creases and several tears along the other foldlines. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on the other foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds.
