If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that our consignor purchased this poster in a frame in a Swedish antique shop. The shop owner told him that it was an original poster from the first Swedish release in 1933, and the mat on the back of the frame has "Grand 1933" written on it, with a "MALMO" stamp next to it. But we strongly suspect that this poster is a commercial poster from the 1970s or so! We have seen old Swedish posters that have survived in wonderful condition, but this poster just does not look like it could be from before the 1970s. So do not bid on this poster unless you can accept that it is extremely likely that it is from the 1970s or later. Also, the new owner can have the frame sent with the poster, or they can solely have the poster sent and we will discard the frame. It is their choice. See our images of the front and back of the frame. Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. If it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube (like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: very good. The poster is in nice condition. The frame has some minor wear (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
