If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was used in Canada. In the mid 1940s, extending into the 1950s, Canadian censors were fanatical over not showing images of guns, but also girls with "too sexy" revealing clothes, and violent images. So they actually hired people to apply giant blobs of paint over offensive areas! The paint bonds in with the poster, and it CAN'T be removed, only painted over. So either you see this as a giant defect, which defaces the poster, or you may think of it as a "cool addition", showing how crazy Canadian censorship was at this time. But please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept this very significant defect! Condition: poor. The poster has major Canadian censoring (see above). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept this significant defect described above or are willing to pay to have it properly restored. Learn More about condition grades
