Assassin of Youth Original Vintage Movie Poster  
Title Year Nominal size Condition Price
Assassin of Youth 1937 US 1 sht - 27"X41" Fine/Near Mint £4,995
Notes: This 1937 exploitation film from director Elmer Clifton details the alleged ill effects of cannabis or "marihuana" on America's youth. Similar to the better known Reefer Madness, the picture represents the exaggerated anti-drug propaganda of the time.  This is a rare one sheet poster from the first release. Like many low budget, low circulation exploitation films, the poster was a hand drawn screen print produced in small numbers rather than printed on a regular machine press. This not only makes it much rarer than other movie posters, the process also gives the design stronger bolder colours. This example is in excellent original condition with no fading and minimal yellowing of the paper. There is a little edge wear at the corners and archival tape repairs to fold separations but these do not detract from the overall presentation and it looks stunning.

Propaganda - Keep Calm and Carry On Original Vintage Movie Poster  
Title Year Nominal size Condition Price
Propaganda - Keep Calm and Carry On 1939 UK DC - 20" x 30" Near Mint £7,995
Notes: This is a very rare and important piece of British history, printed in 1939 when the threat of invasion by the all conquering Nazis was a very real possibility. This design was printed in secret and intended for distribution only if the Germans landed on British soil. Thankfully this never happened and, like all paper in the 1940's, stocks were taken from storage, pulped and recycled in the austerity years after the war. It was almost completely forgotten until one was rediscovered in 2000 by the owner of a bookshop, whereupon the design became the centre of a worldwide marketing phenomenon, appearing on everything from mugs to T-shirts. There were believed to be only two survivors until a stash of fifteen appeared on the BBC Antiques Roadshow in 2012 and six more appeared from another significant estate find of a hoard of wartime posters in 2014. They remain incredibly rare with under forty known examples in the world. Undoubtedly the most poignant of any wartime poster in British history, it has recently also become one of the most iconic motivational themes of all time and is consequently increasingly sought after. Rolled in superb condition.

Adventures of Captain Marvel Original Vintage Movie Poster  
Title Year Nominal size Condition Price
Adventures of Captain Marvel 1941 US 1 sht - 27"X41" Fine on linen £995
Notes: The first of the movie superheroes. Classic Saturday morning cinema serial based on the character in WHIZ COMICS Magazine about the boy who becomes a superhero when he says "Shazam" and he fights a mysterious masked villain called The Scorpion. Republic Pictures had tried to make a deal with DC Comics to make serials of Superman and Batman in 1940, but were turned down and instead made a deal with Whiz Comics in 1941. This was actually the very first of the many movies based on costumed super heroes, predating Superman and Batman by two years. Because it was released at the start of America's involvement in World War II, and there were paper drives over the next few years, original 1941 movie paper on this title is EXTREMELY rare. Linen backed in excellent condition with retouching to borders.

Affairs of Susan Original Vintage Movie Poster  
Title Year Nominal size Condition Price
Affairs of Susan 1945 French affiche - 24"x 32" Fair £45
Notes: Heavily cinema used but the Boris Grinsson artwork is still stunning. This poster shows it's age but the colours are still bright and the image is beautiful. The old fashioned stone litho print (often mistaken for screen printing) is far more vivid than modern offset litho printing and the overall effect is wonderful. This is one for lovers of patina and prefer a lived in look. The film was an oscar nominated romantic comedy starring Joan Fontaine as the multi-faceted Susan. This is from the 1947 first release in France of this 1945 film. Folded with wear from cinema use, repairs to rear and paper loss around the edges and folds.

Notes: British material on this tremendously important First World War film is notoriously difficult to find - this is the only example of a 1930 first release poster that I have ever heard of. Moreover, the text actually provides us with the provenance. It was used at the Empire Cinema in Faversham for a week from October 12th 1930. Quite possibly a unique opportunity. Folded with some overall wrinkling but no staining and no damage.

Big Clock 1948 UK quad - 40"x30" Fine £295
Notes: Classic film noir starring Ray Milland and Charles Laughton. This particular poster is an incredibly rare variant and a true historical artifact as it was printed on the reverse side of a recycled map from the British War Office. In the austerity post war years of rationing in the UK, paper was also in very short supply so film posters were sometimes printed on the reverse sides of recycled maps – in this case an Ordnance Survey map of Kuwait. A very rare opportunity and a great film.

Notes: Amazing extra large format art deco style poster from the first release in 1932 for this Dolores Del Rio Pacific classic. Scandalous in its day, this was one of the last pre-code movies (before the Hays Code banned nudity and lascivious behaviour), featuring numerous scenes in which Dolores was wearing almost nothing but a grass skirt and one swimming scene in which she was completely naked. Both film and poster were very much a product of the time showing Hollywood as its sexiest and most glamorous. Folded in excellent condition.

Notes: Stunning image of London skyline and bombers. A cabal of armament manufacturers conspire to wreck a peace conference and start a war for profit and personal reasons. Very good fast moving thriller that is slightly sci-fi with radio controlled planes and large machines but they are merely window dressing as hero and heroine try to get to the bottom of the plot. From the first release, folded as issued, this poster has good paper and bright unfaded colours, although it does also have some white archival tape reinforcement on the front of the poster which could be removed during linen backing to look great.

Notes: Incredibly rare country of origin UK quad for this landmark British film.

From the first release in 1947, this poster has been linen backed with restoration to the titles area and air brushing to the borders. Although the UK one sheet (used internationally rather than in the UK) appears quite regularly, the UK quad is far rarer due to the extensive paper recycling that took place alongside the rationing in post-war austerity Britain.

Notes: A gorgeously produced romance, in the best sense of the term, "Camille" is a prime example of the type of film that causes viewers to lament "that they just do not make them like this anymore." Of course, how could a film like this be made again? The incomparable Garbo is gone, as are director George Cukor, producer Irving Thalberg, studio-mogul Louis B. Mayer, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer sound stages and back lot, and even the Hollywood studio system. This poster is from the 1950's re-release in Belgium, folded as issued, with tax stamp attached showing that the cinema owner had used it.

Frankenstein meets the wolfman 1943 Italian 2-foglio - 39" x 55" Good/Very Good £275
Notes: As the Monster, Bela Lugosi is pretty terrible but his ineffective performance was made worse in the editing room where his dialogue was cut out after it was decided that the Monster should not have an Hungarian accent. Yet Lugosi's lips move and he flails his arms about as if he were speaking. It's an enjoyable horror yarn, albeit one that was perhaps the first step in turning Universal's classic horror characters into a joke, ones that would soon have no choice but to meet Abbott and Costello. This poster is from a 60's re-release, folded as originally issued to cinemas. N.B. This poster has been reinforced all over the back with tape. It has fold lines and very minor separation at the crossfold. It nevertheless presents very well with strong colours and wonderful graphics. Prior to backing, this would have been graded Fine.
