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

Condition: very good. Decades ago, someone put a series of small pieces of tape on much of the vertical foldline between the top and bottom crossfolds, mending small tears and tiny areas of paper loss. The same person put some tape on the back of some of the middle foldline, and in a few places on the backs of the borders. There were pinholes in the corners and some creases, tears, and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. There were some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on the horizontal foldlines. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking, but most of the defects in the poster were solely in the foldlines. The poster was extremely well backed, and the person who did the restoration spent a great deal of time restoring the foldline defects, but did NOT attempt to make the poster "look perfect", and so the poster in no way has a heavily restored "dipped in paint" look. You can see the restoration from inches away, but from any distance, the poster looks fantastic, and there is truly not a lot of paint on the poster!
