Price: AUD $199.99

RARE Original hand litho Australian daybill 13" x 30" folded as issued, good – very good condition, edge and fold wear with a chip out of lh border, overlapping foldlines with additional creases, pinholes and a snipe added "Years Best Film" (see enlarged photo). Although the poster displays reasonably well as is, it would benefit from linen backing to flatten out the foldlines and remove the snipe. This would be a relatively simple job.
