If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned the 1941 first release half-sheet, but we have never before auctioned this 1948 Realart re-release half-sheet! Also note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has brown tape on the back of the left border and another piece to the left of that, mending a border tear. There are some light creases scattered throughout the poster and two tears in the top border. There is also a small tear in the top left corner that has a piece of tape on the back. There are some faint smudges scattered in the solid white areas.
