Artist: Ken Sawyer Important Added Info: Note also that this 30x40 is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual black & white photo which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the lower left corner of the poster). This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time! Paper banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Note that this poster must be sent in a tube that is 32" long or over (which is why it is in this set of auctions). You can tell how long the tube will need to be by adding 2 inches to the shorter dimension of the length or width (so 40x60s need to be sent in a 42 inch long tube, etc). Most of these posters (with the notable exception of paper banners) CAN be combined in the same tube together, with a few exceptions. Bear in mind that a very long tube (42 inches or longer) will cost a lot more to send than a 30" tube, so bear that in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: good. There are creases, scuffs, and smudges along all the foldlines and around the edges of the poster and a lesser number in the image area between the folds. There is red paint on the back of the poster (where someone used the back of the poster to advertise a showing of "Twelve Angry Men"!), but the paint does not bleed through to the front, and it is likely fairly easily removable.
