In 1951 to 1953, there was a very popular TV show, which starred black African American actors in the lead roles. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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. There are two diagonal tears in the lower left that go into the left and right of Amos' chin. They were repaired with tape from the back. There are some pinholes and surface paper loss around the edges of the card, with two areas of paper loss in the left blank border, and two tears in the borders. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored. Learn More about condition grades
