If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the color photo at the left of this paper banner was printed on a separate sheet and then attached to that area of the banner (this was commonly done with paper banners, and some 30x40s and 40x60s of this period). It allowed the studio to have a full-color image as part of a much larger poster, but without the expense of having the entire poster printed in full color. This is how the poster was created. Condition: good to very good. There are two tears in the right border that were repaired with tape from the back. Please look at our super-sized image to get a good sense of the exact condition of this item. Learn More about condition grades
