Artist: Kazuhiko Sano Important Added Info: This is a very rare uncut printer's test poster (often referred to as a "printer's proof")! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Because they needed to be shown to people at the studio, people in the art department, the stars, etc, they would print a number of test posters and distribute them to these people. Some of them would be fully trimmed, but often they would leave the color chart on the left edge of many of the posters, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 28 1/4" x 41" [72 x 104 cm]). Once these printer's test posters were shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test poster far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine as there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! Note that this one-sheet measures 28 1/4" x 41" [72 x 104 cm]. Also note that the poster is marked "International" on the bottom, indicating it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries. Finally, note that this poster is double-sided, but not in the regular way. There is a test print for Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Hercules in New York" on the back (see our images). We have provided an image of each side, and please realize that the winner of this auction will receive ONE poster! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has many light creases scattered throughout. It has a light horizontal crease along and through the top of the title area, and that crease has a few light creases and scuffs. The poster is otherwise generally in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
