Size: 44 1/2" x 29 1/2" (large-format original).
Condition (Conservation/Restoration Project):

Sold as found / as imaged—ideal for a buyer who understands professional poster conservation/linen backing.
From us:
We’ve been in the antiques & collectibles business for nearly five decades, with an online presence going back to 1999—and there are very few pieces I personally covet. This is one of them. I’m listing it briefly; if it doesn’t sell, I’ll likely have it conserved and may simply keep it.
Printing note:
©1968 imprint and Darien House distribution line present; offered as an original period poster (no numbered-edition claim).
