This is an original Polish poster in near mint condition for the release of the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy. This poster was printed to promote the release of the film in Poland in 1973 hence the date on the title. Originals of this iconic image are highly collectible and this copy is particularly special as it was never folded and is in near mint condition. Polish cinema posters are an art movement in their own right and this may be the most collectible image of the entire movement. The artwork was produced by Waldemar Swierzy and it shows a man with rosy red lips whose face has been covered by a huge blue cowboy hat. Like many Polish cinema posters of the era, there is an almost intimidating aspect to the picture. The film itself is loved by critics and audiences alike and it won the academy award for Best Picture in 1970. It tells the story of two friends trying to survive on the streets of New York City.  Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman star in unforgettable roles. We have included a 3rd HD image that enables a condition assessment of the poster. The round white/black objects you may see in the corners are magnets, used to photograph the posters. They have not damaged the posters in any way.
