If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 25 1/2" x 40" [65 x 102 cm]. Condition: fair to good. All the blank borders were trimmed off. There was a thin strip of paper loss in the center of the bottom vertical fold, and someone put clear tape on the front and back of that area, and also put clear tape on the back of the other two crossfolds, where there was separation. They put a few other pieces of tape on the back of the poster. There are pinholes and some tears around the edges (see our image). While one would obviously prefer to find this poster in better condition, this is the only example of this poster we have ever seen, and one might be waiting for decades, and the poster is mostly "all there", so it would not be that difficult of a restoration job.
