Artist unknown/not credited, medium-thin flat index stock poster is in good/decent (B to B/B-) condition; there are semi-pronounced horizontal roll creases traversing the left side of the image area, along with a bit of mild age spotting/toning and a few tiny pin-prick mold spots along the lower margin area, a bit of edge creasing/wear, subtle moisture rippling and a few tiny stress/handling dings here and there and a tiny corner-tip nip in the bottom left corner, otherwise OK.... definitely still in presentable shape.
