THE DIFFERENCE IN COLOR AT THE BOTTOM IS UNIQUE TO THIS INDIVIDUAL POSTER AND PROBABLY OCCURRED DURING THE PRINTING PROCESS. DURING THE OFF-SET LITHOGRAPHY PROCESS, THE PRINTING PLATE IS WIPED TO REMOVE THE DUST AND LINT PARTICLES THAT CREATE PRINTING ERRORS, AFTER THE CLEANING OF THE PLATE THE NEXT FEW POSTERS PRINTED ARE USUALLY DISCARDED AS TESTS. THIS POSTER HOWEVER, WAS NOT, AND RETAINS THE DISCOLORATIONS OF AN IMPERFECT PRINTING PLATE.
