The name "Percy Wenger" is in the top left corner of the poster. This certainly could be the artist, but there is a famous Swiss brand of watches called "Wenger", so that could relate to that just as likely. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Percy Wenger Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never folded. It had tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, with no excess paper around the edges, but one of the tears in the right border has come loose, so the poster is separating on that tear, and there are a few other minor border issues. Any of these could be easily repaired without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
