Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster! We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning. Note that this Australian one-sheet measures 26" x 40" [66 x 102 cm].

Condition: fair to good. The poster has much discoloration scattered in some areas throughout from exposure to moisture and separation in each crossfold as well as several tears of varying lengths around the edges. The separation and tears are mostly repaired with tape from the back that slightly bleeds through to the front. The poster is in urgent need of restoration, and certainly a competent restorer could repair the defects described above, but please bear in mind the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
