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 never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning (and we are auctioning another style of this rare poster in a separate auction)! Note also that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a few tears of varying lengths around the edges but they only affect the blank borders (one at left was repaired with tape from the back). It has a few faint smudges around the edges but overall the rare poster is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
