From first release in Australia, 1969 we have two film posters, a One-Sheet and Daybill from George Lazenby's only appearance as 007 in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". The One-Sheet is the same design as used on the US campaign with Bond's face a closely guarded secret with him surrounded by a montage of photographic images of 'Bond Girls'. Interestingly of the seven featured only Jenny Hanley (black bikini bottom left) appeared in the film as the Irish Girl, one of Blofeld's Angels of Death. The Daybill uses the Frank McCarthy, Robert McGinnis artwork used for the main worldwide marketing campaign, an impressive all-action offering and unmistakably a Bond poster.13.5" x 29.5" (33 x 75 cm); 26.5" x 39.5" (67 x 101 cm)Condition: Very GoodUnrestored, folded (as issued) with minimal handling, age or fold line wear.Artist: Robert McGinnis, Frank McCarthy£100 - 200VAT Status: M
Group of eight Mexican Lobby Cards from first year of release, 1970 in Mexico for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969) - 'El Servicio Secreto De Su Majestad'. With an interesting design (that works very well) which combines black-and-white photographs and variations of colour for Frank McCarthy's' artwork, these Lobby Cards certainly catch the eye. The crude almost hand drawn lettering and credits lends a naivety to the design which if anything adds personality to a multi produced item of marketing. More commonly sold or offered in much smaller quantities (ones and twos) than the eight presented here.16.5" x 12.5" (42 x 32 cm)Condition: Good to Very GoodFlat and unfolded with some cards having scattered pinholes and minor edgewear. Overall they present very well.Artist: Unknown Artist£100 - 200VAT Status: M

Interestingly of the seven featured only Jenny Hanley (black bikini bottom left) appeared in the film as the Irish Girl, one of Blofeld's Angels of Death. The Style B is a more traditional, unmistakable Bond poster; all-action and explosions with Frank McCarthy and Robert McGinnis artwork which was also used for the main worldwide marketing campaign.27" x 41" (69 x 104 cm)Condition: GoodUnrestored, folded (as issued). Some noticeable handling and age wear with scattered pin holes around the border areas (some enlarged) with paper loss to some edges.

Bond poster veteran Robert McGinnis was again commissioned to provide the artwork and (his first to feature Moore) his detailed and stylish illustrations perfectly captures the voodoo theme of the movie, with the Tarot card display and the exaggerated action of the famous boat chase, jump sequence, plus beautiful 'Bond' women and 'giant' alligators. The sheer size of the Six-Sheet (81" x 81" when complete) only enhances just how impressive McGinnis' work is.81" x 81" (206 x 206 cm)Additional Information: NSS #73/35Condition: Very GoodUnrestored, originally folded (as issued).

Included here are the Italian 2-Fogli film poster and complementing full set of eight Photobustas.

"Die Hard" is the prototype for the modern action film. It's lean, mean and doesn't contain a single second of wasted screen time. Early rushes of the film presented Willis as an unconvincing action figure, so in the initial US advertising campaign there are a series of posters that chose to highlight the exploding, under attack skyscraper (actually the real life offices of 20th Century Fox®) rather than Willis. Once advance preview screenings produced some record-breaking scores, this quickly changed, and Willis featured prominently on any marketing material. From first year of release, this unrestored, rolled (as issued) unfolded UK Quad features John Mcclane and the scene of the movie's action, the Nakatomi Tower.30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)Condition: Very Good to ExcellentUnrestored, Rolled, unfolded with minimal handling and wear though rolling.Artist: Unknown Artist£100 - 200VAT Status: M
"Hammer Glamour". The first time this much used tagline was used on a film poster. An original "One Million Years B.C./She" for Hammer's August 1969 Double Feature release. One of Hammer's and artist Tom Chantrell's most memorable posters. Full-size imagery (unlike those distributed to ABC Cinemas) it shows what a fantastic artist Chantrell was, not just the imagery but the composition and design. It also helps when the subject matter was two of the screen's greatest sex symbols; Raquel Welch (Loana) and Ursula Andress (SHE/Ayesha). Presented rolled (as issued) this displays to superb effect.30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)Condition: Very Good to ExcellentUnrestored, rolled (as issued).

"Predator" (1987), directed by John McTiernan is an excellent mix of gung-ho action and sci-fi horror, with an iconic monster (designed by Stan Winston). The original UK Quad film poster offered here is from first year of release 1987 and was created by a team at the FEREF design agency, including Stephen Laws, Frank Hillary and acclaimed movie poster artist Brian Bysouth.

This 'thermal imaging' version is considered a classic amongst collectors of the genre.30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)Condition: Very GoodUnrestored, folded (as issued).

Long before Tim Burton reinvented the Caped Crusader and Chris Nolan reimagined him there was "Batman" 1960's style, as the decade's most popular TV show was transported to the big screen. Such a gloriously camp, cheesy movie deserves a spectacular poster and acclaimed Belgian Ray (Raymond Elseviers) doesn't disappoint with his design on this original 1966 Belgian affiche. An illustrated Batman is surrounded by a series of photographic displays showcasing not just key scenes but the villainous cast as well. A seldom seen poster for this swinging sixties release and the first time we have offered one for sale.16 1/2" x 22 3/4" (42 x 58 cm)Condition: Good to Very GoodUnrestored, folded (as issued).
