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 poster has been paperbacked. This means that a professional restorer mounted it on to a paperbacking and then performed restoration to its defects. This particular poster was backed on to a fairly heavy paperbacking. While it could conceivably be rolled, it would almost surely damage the poster to do so, so we will only roll the poster if the buyer accepts responsibility for any damage. Since the poster can't be reasonably rolled and will need to be sent in a large flat package, so bear in mind this additional cost when bidding on this poster. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had a 7" horizontal tear in the right border that went through the bottom of most of Cortesa's credit. It had some tears and tiny paper loss in the restoration of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
