    That's a different colorway. I suspect the OP's to be a reproduction. A comparison of sizes may prove it so. (The original is 46 3/4 in. x 62 1/4 in.)

    the one I posted is not that big about 34x25" but I'd like to know what that blind stamp means.

    it's likely the paper manufacturer.

    I agree that it's most likely a reproduction because I doubt there would be that blind stamp on the original. Originally it was an advertisement. Reproductions are certainly available.

    The color difference may indicate fading.

    (The information in the link I provided shows up a lot, and verbatim, when these posters are offered for sale. Sellers feeding of those who came before? I wonder where the start point is.)

    I get the impression (pun intended) that the blind stamp is merely an attempt to make a reproduction seem like something "more important".
