If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: fair to good. The poster is somewhat brittle and there is much tattering and separation along the foldlines (more so at center in Robinson's image). There is light rippling and some darkening throughout the poster from exposure to moisture. There is a stain in the vertical fold at upper and lower center. There are some pin holes in each corner of the poster. It is possible that a professional restorer or talented amateur could linenback this poster and it would look great but please do NOT bid on this poster unless you are willing to accept its defects!
