If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that the poster has a huge amount of brown paper tape on the back and many, many defects, and is in much lesser condition! This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. The sections have been glued together, so that the poster could be displayed. After the poster was used, it was folded up, and the two pieces of the poster remain glued together.
