If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). very good to fine. Poster had small paper loss on some foldlines and at some crossfolds. It had minor smudges and creases throughout, as well as some tears on some foldlines and some minor border defects. The poster is well linenbacked, and the minor defects are not noticeable except from close-up. At some point after linenbacking the poster was slightly roughly handled and there are now creases at the top of the left and right borders and across the top edge (these creases are mostly in the linen, but they somewhat extend into the image of the poster).
