If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this item (and others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from the estate of Lee Sanders. Mr. Sanders was a nationally recognized projectionist, film poster collector, and union activist who passed away last year, and the net proceeds from the sale of his varied and eclectic collection will be donated to promote film studies at the Besant School of Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca. Condition: good to very good. There is a 2" tear at upper right that extends only slightly into the artwork. There is minor separation in the ends of the vertical foldline that have been repaired with tape from the back, and there is tiny paper loss in the upper crossfold. There are a few areas of writing in the back of the upper quarter of the poster (either regular or grease pencil) that very slightly bleed through to the front (they are not very noticeable or distracting). It is otherwise in pretty good condition and if after a simple linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
