If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an incredibly rare poster! Nine years ago, we auctioned an incomplete example, which had the top two-thirds, but which was missing the entire bottom title and credits area. That incomplete poster auctioned for $4,200! Now we have been consigned a complete example of this poster, and not only have we never auctioned a complete example before, but we can't find that anyone else ever has either! So the new owner of this poster will have an extremely rare poster from one of the most important American movies! Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: very good. The poster has tiny separation and tiny paper loss at some crossfolds, with just a few small tears and tiny bits of paper loss on small parts of some folds, and some creases along some of the folds. Apparently, the theater that used this poster pinned each section separately to a wall, and there are pinholes around the edges of both sections. There are a few small tears and the tiniest bits of paper loss in the blank borders. There is faint staining across the bottom 1" to 1 1/2" of the bottom border, but it does not affect the image. I would say that this poster has survived in about as nice condition as one could hope, and certainly, its defects are minor. It has had no restoration of any kind! Learn More about condition grades
