Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius

About the Item

Original British film poster for Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius 1989. This poster was created for a documentary by David Gill, Kevin Brownlow and Raul Moreno. It was the final documentary in the series which Brownlow produced as a tribute to silent films. This television documentary was released in two parts and shown on the 13th and 20th January 1990. The poster was printed in 1989 for the January release. As this documentary only had one showing very few posters were printed. The artwork on this poster is by Tom Eckersley (1914-1997). Eckersley was a British artist who designed posters for many important clients, including Shell, The General Post Office and the BBC. During the World War II Eckersley worked as a cartographer in the RAF and produced a series of 'War Effort' posters. He was head of the Graphic Design Department at the London College of Printing from 1958-1977, and became a Royal Designer for Industry in 1963. This poster is unfolded and in near mint condition it would be shipped rolled in a very strong tube and sent by Federal Express.
