If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 22 1/4" x 29 3/4" [57 x 76 cm]. Also note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). There is a 1/2" tear in the right of the bottom edge of the poster that has been repaired with tape from the back. There are some smudges, scuffs, and minor creases throughout the poster and there is a small amount of tattering around the edges. Overall, the poster is in generally nice condition and if one chose to have it restored it would look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
