If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. The card has some tears in the borders that slightly extend into the edge of the image. It has some slight darkening around the edges and in the top blank area. It has some faint smudges scattered in the image. In spite of these defects, the card displays great as it is, or certainly, it could have some professional restoration performed if the new owner desired. Learn More about condition grades
