If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Note that this one-sheet measures 27 1/4" x 40 1/2". Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Condition: very good to fine. There were tiny holes at the crossfolds that were repaired. There was an extra crease above the right half of the bottom foldline. There was minor restoration on the foldlines.. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
