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 is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2016! Also note that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Finally note that the theater that used this poster partially glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Condition: fair to good. The poster has VERY large tears in the right and left edges and almost complete separation of the center horizontal fold up to the crossfold (see our image). There are patches of discoloration scattered in the image area. The sections have been glued together and there is some glue staining. After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
