King Kong 1933 French Grande Style A Film Poster, Roland Coudon

King Kong 1933 French Grande Style A Film Poster, Roland Coudon

Located in Bath, Somerset

One of the stand-out items of our new collection. The 1933 French Grande Style A King Kong film poster by Roland Coudon is an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after vintage collectible. Created for the movie’s first release in France, it is one of only two poster styles produced for the Grande format for that debut. What truly sets this poster apart is its unique design: instead of depicting the more familiar Empire State Building scene, Coudon’s artwork captures the dramatic sacrifice moment on Skull Island, with Kong illuminated by torches as he is introduced to the audience. Produced as a stone lithograph, this poster is widely regarded as one of the finest images created for King Kong, skilfully conveying the intense emotions of fear and awe central to the film. Measuring approximately 46 x 62 1/2 inches, the French Grande format gives the poster a commanding visual presence that draws the eye and demands attention. Due to its extreme rarity, with very few surviving examples known to exist, this poster is an invaluable treasure for serious collectors and film historians alike. More than just a promotional item, the French Grande Style A King Kong poster...

Lawrence of Arabia 1962 Pre-Oscars UK Quad Film Poster, Georges Kerfyser

Located in Bath, Somerset

Celebrate a true piece of cinematic history with this exceptionally rare 1962 pre-Oscars British quad poster for Lawrence of Arabia — a remarkable early issue released in the UK before the film’s sweeping success at the Academy Awards. This scarce pre-awards quad captures the scale, intrigue and majesty of David Lean’s epic long before it became enshrined as one of the greatest films ever made. Striking artwork by Georges Kerfyser, whose dramatic, stylised illustration dominates the design. Kerfyser’s powerful rendering of the film’s enigmatic central figure, set against sweeping desert action and rich, atmospheric tones, gives the piece a distinctive visual authority. Georges Kerfyser was a French-born illustrator and commercial artist active during the mid-20th century, known for his expressive, painterly style. Working extensively in Europe, he produced artwork for film posters, advertising campaigns and publishing houses. Kerfyser’s dynamic compositions and bold use of colour made his work instantly recognisable, and his contribution to this early Lawrence of Arabia poster...

Antique and Vintage Posters

Add a welcome personal touch to your space and tie your distinctive interior scheme together by introducing antique and vintage posters to any and every room of your home.

In the late 19th century, following the advent of text-heavy posters printed from woodblocks for use in taverns and shop windows, hand-drawn poster art had become commonplace in regions such as France, England and the United States. Well-known illustrators were commissioned to produce decorative posters to advertise political campaigns, theatrical events, books, household goods and other items. Early poster artists used a printmaking technique called lithography, which sees drawings or paintings created on a stone (or metal) surface with an oil-based substance, such as a greasy crayon or tusche (an oily wash). The image is eventually affixed to the surface by means of a chemical reaction, and ink adheres to certain sections of the surface while non–image areas are made to repel the ink.

If you wanted a color lithograph in the early days, the number of stones prepared had to match the number of colors you commissioned for the poster. French painter Jules Chéret, widely known as the father of the modern poster, designed some of history's most popular lithographic posters that featured color. Today, Chéret’s art is highly collectible, along with original works by Czech painter and decorative artist Alphonse Mucha, whose posters advertising theatrical productions helped define Art Nouveau.

Over time, poster artists transitioned to more advanced techniques. Using silkscreens, woodblocks and photolithography, painters and illustrators printed larger quantities at a faster rate.

If you’ve finally tracked down that vintage movie poster, mid-century modern promotional travel poster or other work and you’re looking to find out if it is valuable, distinguishing between an original poster and a reproduction can be complicated. A professional appraiser can work with you on factors such as rarity, assessing the physical condition of your poster and authenticating your piece. For now, take care of your new acquisition because conserving posters is essential in helping them retain their value. A practical conservation method is to have the work mounted on archival, acid-free paper and thin artist’s canvas, then enclosing it in a sturdy frame. (And here is a primer on how to hang wall art, be it arranged gallery-style or otherwise.)

On 1stDibs, find all kinds of posters for your home today.
