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 only auctioned two in all our years of auctioning and the last time was in 2009! Note also that this poster was used in Canada. In the mid 1940s, extending into the 1950s, Canadian censors were fanatical over not showing images of guns, but also girls with "too sexy" revealing clothes, and violent images. So they actually hired people to apply giant blobs of paint over offensive areas! The paint bonds in with the poster, and it CAN'T be removed, only painted over. So either you see this as a giant defect, which defaces the poster, or you may think of it as a "cool addition", showing how crazy Canadian censorship was at this time. But please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept this very significant defect! Note also 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: fair. The poster has an approximately 3" x 4" patch of censor paint at upper center right (see above). It has a few tears of varying lengths around the edges and some faint creases and scuffs scattered in various areas. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this poster and bear in mind the significant defect noted above prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
