Artist: Tom William Chantrell Important Added Info: Note that this is one of three British quads that were created for the 1977 release of this classic movie. In 1978, when the movie was still in first release in England, a new quad was prepared with the same Chantrell artwork as one of the earlier three quads, but with information about the awards it had won. Offered here is a "pre-Awards" British quad from 1977, which is far more rare than the one from after the awards. The last three examples of this poster that are in similar condition to the one currently offered here have been auctioned by us for between $2,700 and $3,000 each! We are also currently auctioning the post-awards British quad in a separate auction. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There are creases in the bottom border by each crossfold and some scuffs in the middle fold in the white letters of the title. Otherwise the poster has very minor fold and border wear.
