NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an INCREDIBLY RARE set of 12 progressive printer's proofs! Before a printer would print a poster, they would create separations for each of the colors in the poster (normally between 4 and 8 colors), and then they would print individual posters for each of the colors (what is especially interesting here is that they did TWELVE colors, rather than the usual four or eight! This was much more expensive to do, but results in a more striking poster, and they obviously felt it was worth the expense). Once those were approved, they would then run test posters with all the colors. Finally, when those test posters were approved, they would run the complete print job. Note also that we have 12 images of the one-sheets in this set, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 12 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 2. Note that these one-sheets measure 30" x 41" [76 x 104 cm]. Condition: very good.
