If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the German poster designer for this 1960 re-release poster created really cool art of a Kong that is quite faithful to the movie looming over the New York skyline holding Fay Wray. But he took the liberty of updating the bi-planes to modern jets, and he added a tank that is firing right at Kong's crotch! Also note that the movie was re-titled "King Kong and the White Woman" in German! Condition: good. The poster is somewhat discolored and there is some staining in the title area at lower left. The poster is completely separated along the horizontal fold at center and is now held together with masking tape from the back along that foldline. There is a 1 1/2" vertical tear in the artwork background at lower center and there are some pairs of staple holes and smaller tears around the edges of the poster. This is the kind of poster that responds well to professional restoration. It is quite likely that the stains and discoloration can be removed through chemical means during the restoration process and the poster will surely display well! Learn More about condition grades
