Quite graphic, there were a number of major jet crashes in the U.S. in the late 70's, where no one survived, you'd be more concerned there than here.
-
Destroy All Posters more like - horrendous and visually challenging stuff here.
-
Those Realarts ones are really superb, The Wolf Man 1 sheet has a Dali-esque look to it and is more interesting than the original.
-
And the top price in the recent auction - an 8 page pressbook! Surely some sort of record for such an item.
-
Heck! My same video would last about 7 seconds - I think I have 3 of 'em.
-
Okie - It is a half sheet, it has quite a few scuffs, but at least it hasn't been folded..
-
Flamingo Road daybill (Heritage), The Big Cage (eBay), Outlawed (MovieArt). That's the only 3.

A rare one in the series printed by Marchant.

Excellent research Lawrence, pity we don't know for certain. My final thoughts - Simmons Ltd printed film posters, cinemas displayed film posters and a cinema indisputably did in this case. Either that occurred OR Simmons printed something that look…

None of those 3 Ben Hur trade ads presented have any cast listed that I can see, just the main selling point - the title. I mean one would surely have the star (Novarro) listed, so the lack of in the Simmons poster has no bearing,. Also the Trader H…

To keep it evidence based - Campaign book pages do not have printers names at the bottom of them and cinemas did not use sundry items like pages from campaign books, they used actual accessories of which there were many available.

Wasn't able to resize these images.

I think definitely a poster, and probably a daybill, given it has no folds in it - consistent with most long daybills. Obviously there's no wide border for screening date as that would need to be very wide to be read properly hence the writing in th…

Looks like printing details at the left bottom of the Ben Hur daybill, assuming it is a daybill.
-
Assuming it's theirs, I wonder how much that 6 sheet set the Archive back? I know they once purchased a Spanish Jedda on eBay for U.S. $1100, so they do splash the taxpayer's money occasionally.

The image of Terror By Night might be on one roll of film not yet developed. The daybill had a very black background and the same art as the poster pictured in this thread.
-
I have a photo of Terror By Night somewhere, I had one about 25 years ago, wish I still had it. I have 7 of the daybills, Sherlock Holmes Faces Death is the one I would love to see/own.
-
I don't have a copy close to hand but doesn't the NFSA Australian film poster book have the Orphan 1 sheet in it?
-
It might be the only image showing what an actual Dracula 3 sheet looks like - I don't think any survive. Pretty sure that's the Morgan Litho. logo at the bottom right. Sometimes the press book poster images differed slightly to the printed version.
-
I once had this 1 sheet circa late 40's. It went to the State Library of Victoria, they were quite happy to get it.

The 2 Bounty posters are incredible. Here's another great cricket daybill, artwork by Dempsey.

Christie's South Kensington circa 2001-2002.

I remember in the mid 90's there was talk of Keith Hutchinson of the Stars shop in Sydney who had 2 Frankenstein daybills and rumour was it one went to someone from Metallica - Kirk Hammett wasn't named but obviously it would've been him.

Here's a press sheet image of the King of the Jungle 3 sheet as well as the likely Australian 1 sheet. No printers names are listed.

I wonder who printed them?

I have the press sheets for each of those titles. The 3 sheets are pictured and are pretty much the same as these ones here, though those in the press sheets may well be the U.S. ones and these surviving are fairly good interpretations of them. The …

Never seen that one before. I have one of those slim daybills for Gaslight, not sure if released here in 44 or 45.
