The poster is approximately 11" by 13 1/3 inches. I found it well preserved in a plastic bag at a flea market which was full of under-priced antiques. The poster is in nearly perfect condition. There are a few finger-prints that have turned black next to the mans left ear and at the bottom. The paper has yellowed a little, but otherwise the image is clear and crisp. The strangest thing about the print is that it has marks (not on the print, but in it) that appear to be made by the artist to find the right proportions when making the mans face. I recognize these because I draw portraits myself, and have been taught to do this. The paper has rolled inward about a quarter inch on the left side, and there is a blue line where the paper appears to have been cut, as if removed from a book. I was able to find a photo of the original advertisement on the web.

The back cover, the coke add is #269 while the is #204
The Gilbys gin add is exactly the same as the one on the link.
There are differences.
I do not see these "pencil" markings on the version published on the website.
The fonts are different on the bottom right
My poster is much too large to be from the back of Time magazine.
