Director John Carpenter followed his debut sci-fi film Dark Star (1974) with the action thriller Assault on Precinct 13. Carpenter originally hoped to create a Howard Hawks style western, but when the $100k budget prohibited this idea he retooled the script to work in a modern day setting. The film failed to make much impact on its original American release in 1976, but when the film was shown at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival it received very favourable reviews from several critics, particularly those from Britain. After a showing at the 1977 London Film Festival, Carpenter was delighted by the positive critical and audience reaction. Derek Malcolm, the then film critic of the Guardian newspaper (whose quote graces this poster), reported that the film’s screening was greeted with deafening applause. Offered in uncommon rolled (as issued) condition, this scarce poster is presented in very good original unrestored condition and is a hard to find item in such high grade condition.30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)Condition: Very GoodUnrestored, rolled (as issued).

John Joseph Merlin was born in Huys, near Maastricht, Belgium in 1753. It is believed that he was of Huguenot extraction and his family were probably mechanically minded. Very little is known regarding Merlin's apprenticeships or training prior to his arrival in Paris in around 1754 (possibly under the encouragement of Academie des Sciences) where he made his mark in mechanical circles before travelling to London (within the entourage of the Comte de Fuentes, the Spanish Ambassador Extraordinary) In 1760. Such was Merlin's skill that by 1763 he was noted as being involved in the finishing of a large barrel organ for the Prince of Wales at Carlton House and subsequently became involved with James Cox during the lead-up to the creation of Cox's Museum in Spring Gardens in 1772/3. In 1773 Merlin is noted as working from 42 Queen Anne Street East and filed a patent for a Dutch Oven; with another submitted the following year for a compound-harpsichord. He worked principally as a 'mechanic', and maker of engines, mathematical instruments, clocks and watches and became successful in his trade. Notwithstanding this Merlin encountered difficulties selling his design of compound-harpsichord which he puts down to the lack of willingness from tutors in music to recommend it without a bribe(!). None the less when moved to 11 Princes Street, Hanover Square in 1783 he was no longer interested in pursuing patents but was content to trust instead in his 'own superior ingenuity and to his exertions in the line of mechanism' and established his own 'Merlin's Museum' to showcase his abilities.By 1788-89 Merlin's Museum had become one of the 'shows' of late eighteenth century London and through his unrelenting energy and fertile mind continued to expand until his health started to wane during the 1790's with him finally succumbing to his ailments in 1801. Despite the instruction in his Will for the museum to be sold-off on his death Merlin's Museum appeared to remain open in some form or other until around 1808 when it was dispersed with works such as the unfinished 'silver lady' automaton being acquired by Thomas Weeks for his own Museum. Of Merlin's horological work it is thought that he may have had an input in the design and execution of James Cox's famous 'Perpetual Clock' (now in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum item number O297335). In addition to this several watches signed by him are known as well as fine wall regulator with fired enamel dial, centre seconds and further enamel fine regulation adjustment dial to the pendulum bob; and a series of unusual skeleton clocks of multi-plane design incorporating rotating 'band' chapter rings - an example of which resides at Kenwood House, Middlesex. The current lot was probably supplied by Merlin to one of his Parisian clients/contacts soon after his arrival in London hence the French annotations to the dial coupled with the style of the enamelling to the central hour disc which also has a distinct French feel.Condition Report: Movement is in good relatively clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable significant replacements. The escapement appears original as does the pin-barrel and music work. The music will play as intended however some of the bells are touching and one or two of the hammers need adjustment so would benefit from general tweaking to obtain the best sound. The movement generally would generally benefit from a gentle clean/service if putting into long tern use.The dial is generally in fine condition with no visible faults of any significance; the winding holes have some very slight wear and on very close examination may have seen some very well executed restoration in the past. The spandrel mounts are finely finished and appear to retain original finish albeit now a little muted/mellow in colour. The minute hand may be a replacement.The case may have originally been ebonised (the interior is finished black). The veneers to the superstructure appear to be padouk (or a similar timber) the rest appear to be a mixture of fruitwood and other timbers all stained to match; consequently it is likely that many of these veneers are replacements applied at the time the finish of the clock was changed from being ebonised. The side frets are generally very good with only one or two small losses, the brass quadrant frets to the front and rear doors are finely executed and are appear undamaged. The mounts are somewhat dirty/discoloured but seem to retain original gilding. Visible faults to the rest of the case are otherwise very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, slight shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Clock has winder and a case key.
