If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has several small tears around the edges and a few at right and upper center slightly extend into the background areas (see our image). However, there are some larger tears in the left edge at center, and especially at lower center where there is a complete tear from the top of Vincent's jacket to the center of the credits. There is a small tear in the upper left background and there is a complete diagonal tear at lower right. All of the above-mentioned tears are repaired with tape from the back. There is small paper loss in the lower left corner and there are some light scuff marks in only a few portions of the image area. It is otherwise in generally nice condition and is "all there" and after paperbacking with some restoration the very rare poster should look great and display nicely!
