Without handling it in real life, I can't say for sure. An original would show evidence of being produced on a letterpress, not by off-set lithography. You can see that up close and in life. But, as a graphic artist and typographer (I create period-correct props for movies and TV), the first mistake scam artists fall into is that they use computer fonts instead of type that would have been period correct. This poster uses the typefaces you would have found in the 30's and 40's. If it's a fantasy-fake, the person knew his typography. Plus, many of the fakes that are made have photo's of the key players and all the bells and whistles on it. This one is simple and not that attractive except to a collector, which for me makes it a little more believable.
I hope it's real for the buyer's sake, it's a real find. |
