  • Original Einstein "Hair. It's not the style that counts" vintage poster
    Located in Spokane, WA
    Original Einstein vintage poster. “Hair. It’s not the style that counts, it’s what’s under it.” A black and white image of Einstein with his hair messed me. Linen-backed in excellent condition, ready to frame. From a series of portraits with inspirational quotes from The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. Photo from Bettmann Archive. The poster is a variation of the original photo with the quote “It’s not the style that counts, it’s what’s under it”. This quote is a play on words emphasizing substance's importance over style. The poster reminds us that actual value lies in what is inside a person rather than their outward appearance. About Equitable Life. After closing to new business in 2000, parts of the business were sold off, and the remainder of the company became a subsidiary of Utmost Life and Pensions in January 2020. The Equitable Life Assurance Society (Equitable Life), founded in 1762, is a life insurance...

  • 'Counselor at Crime' original 1973 movie poster
    Located in Spokane, WA
    Shock and awe! Original Counselor at Crime vintage movie poster. 'Good with the Law, Better with a Gun! Paper, original theater fold. Very good condition without any paper loss or tears. 1973 When the godson of San Francisco's crime lord asks permission to leave "the business," Don Antonio (Martin Balsam) agrees, but reluctantly. Such behavior by either one is a violation of the code, and a bloody mob war breaks out. It is only through the strong support of his family connections in Sicily that Don Antonio is able to survive the melee and come out on top. Aghast at the situation he has caused, the godson (Tomas Milian) becomes his leader's "consigliere," or Counselor at Crime. This Italian movie was filmed in English in San Francisco, California, and Palermo, Sicily. This is a man-cave vintage poster, one that you very seldom see or have the chance to purchase. Printed in black and white with red to grab your attention. Italian movie in English. The poster was originally folded, like all early movie posters, so that it could be sent to the movie theater. Original fold marks. Some small scuff marks at the fold marks. No tears. The original fold marks are not classified as flaws in old movie posters...

  • Untitled (Between C & D)
    By David Wojnarowicz
    Located in New York, NY
    In this offset poster, printed in collaboration with the Lower East Side literary magazine, "Between C & D," David Wojnarowicz confronts and denounces violence against members of the LGBT community. Cynthia Carr discusses this poster in her biography, "Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz." She relates the episode of when Wojnarowicz became estranged from collaborator Marion Scemama during the production of this piece and inked out her name on the copies of the poster in his possession. This is a copy from his estate. Between C & D (1983–1990) was a Lower East Side quarterly literary magazine edited by Joel Rose and Carherine Texier. Though a geographical reference to the blocks between Avenue C and Avenue D in New York City's East Village neighborhood, “Between C & D” has also been suggested to mean “between coke and dope,” giving an indication of the publication's transgressive content and ethos. The magazine's actual tagline was “Sex. Drugs. Danger. Violence. Computers.” It was printed on fanfold computer paper, sold in a plastic bag, and featured original artwork on each binding. Contributors included Kathy Acker, Dennis Cooper, Gary Indiana, Tama Janowitz...
