If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had small paper loss at the bottom crossfold and a few pinholes and smudges around the edges, with uneven darkening in the top blank corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. Someone backed the poster onto a thin paper backing, solely to stabilize the poster, and the only restoration they did was replace the missing paper at the bottom crossfold, but it is very noticeable. If I owned this poster, I would immediately have it removed from the thin paper backing, and have it properly linenbacked and restored. Bear all of this in mind before bidding on this poster.
