Our temporary shop and gallery at 33 Great Windmill Street, Soho is now closed. We thought long and hard about which posters to frame for the gallery. In the end we opted for a range of colours and sizes, in the hope they would complement each other. The framed posters are all in excellent condition, generally rolled or linen backed and ready to be hung in a welcoming home.
From left to right in the image below you can see a US One Sheet poster for Pulp Fiction, UK Quad posters for ‘For Your Eyes Only’ and ‘Drive’ (in browser), a US poster for ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and a lobby card for Dr No. Only the ‘For Your Eyes Only’ poster was ever folded and it has now been beautifully linen-backed. All of these posters are in near mint condition except for the Dr No Lobby Card, which has been professionally restored. The posters have been custom and conservation framed with beautifully appointed mounts and wooden frames. As long as the posters remain in these frames their condition will not deteriorate while their values will appreciate.
From left to right on the back wall, there is an Australian Daybill for the first Rocky film, a US poster for You Only Live Twice, a UK quad poster for Lawrence of Arabia and a US Half Sheet for Live and Let Die. The slightly unusual portrait shape of the Rocky poster has captured a lot of interest. The bath scene image from You Only Live Twice is a classic while the early re-release poster for Lawrence of Arabia may be more visually attractive than the first release poster (while at a fraction of the price). The US half sheet poster for Live and Let Die uses the exact same art as the UK Quad poster though it measures 28 x 22 inches. However this half sheet poster has the attraction of having never been folded. The poster in the browser is a beautifully linen backed US poster for The Goonies.
Finally on the other side wall we have a UK quad poster for the film Shaft, a linen backed poster for the 1967 film Casino Royale, a Japanese poster for the film Jaws and a US poster for the film Blade Runner. The Jaws poster fits beautifully above the portrait images in the browsers while the Blade Runner poster is rare in that it has never been folded. This picture was in mint condition before it was framed. Finally the image you see in the browser is, of course, a Style A US poster for the film Star Wars. We hope the images entice you to call if you are in the area. While they look great in photos, we think they look even better in the flesh.
