British Posters

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...

Original Look Magazine shipping tube is emblazoned with groovy psychedelic "Beatles", shows the recipient's address and the sender's return address: Beatles Posters Box 1 Look Building Des Moines, IA. 50304 Background of Avedon/Beatles Collaboration: The Beatles were photographed by Richard Avedon on August 11th, 1967. The shoot took place at a photography studio in a penthouse at Thompson House, 200 Gray's Inn Road, London, England. The American photographer took a number of shots of the group, four of which were later embellished with psychedelic effects. The posters were printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd of London/ The publisher's information appears in the lower right margin of each poster. One a side note, Avedon sold the copyrights of both the photos he took that day and his psychedelic embellishments, executed in post production, to NEMS Enterprises, Ltd. - a firm run by the Beatles music manager Brian Epstein. On Aug 27, 1967, sixteen days after Avedon’s Beatles photo session, Beatles manager Brian Epstein died from an overdose of Carbitol. The Beatles were shocked. By strange twist of fate, the Beatles were attending Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s meditation seminar at Bangor, North Wales. The guru they had just met in London became a substitute for their use of psychedelics and a cushion for their bereavement. Avedon, unknowingly to the Beatles, or even himself, had captured this true spiritual essence just weeks before. January 1968 was the initial concurrent publication of the Avedon photos...
