If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good to very good. tack holes and many smudges around the edges of the poster; paper loss at the top crossfolds and separation on the vertical foldline between them (covered with one long piece of conservation tape from the back); creases along the foldlines; smudges in the white background areas; 1 1/2" of separation at the top of the vertical foldline. The poster is in better condition than the above makes is sound! Its defects are the sort that respond well to restoration. After linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster would look great, and it would have little paint restoration anywhere on it!
