NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had separation, some tiny tears, and creases and smudges on most of the vertical foldlines. There was tiny paper loss on some crossfolds. There were some pinholes, creases, smudges, and tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. It was well backed, and looks quite nice, but the restorer left alone some censor stamps in the green background area at the lower right of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
