Hi Helmut,
I am sure typos happens frequently.. in this example, it is evident
because the seller snapped a close up photo of this area but it is
not mentioned in the description, at all. here, someone with a brush
in hand, simply wasnt paying attention. The lettering style itself is
also very poor--the work is unsteady, uneven and rather sloppy.
Perhaps the owner or collector him(her)self added it on their own,
which could account for the poor "penmanship."

All later printings show an imprinted decal with the correct spelling.

It is not that uncommon for typos on hand-lettered parts of
posters, or indeed on posters themselves.
I have the Australian one sheet for THE WOMEN (1939) which proudly
proclaims that it was directed by George Zucor.)
and someone on NSF showed a daybill a while back that the world
MILLION was spelled in the huge title treatment as MILLLION.
