Artist: Howard Terpning Important Added Info: Note that this classic movie only had a short play date in December of 1968, so that it could qualify for the 1968 Academy Awards (held in the spring of 1969). Almost all known U.S. posters from this movie are from the "post-Academy Award release" in 1969, which prominently references the Best Picture Academy Award won by the movie. The 1968 "pre-Awards" one-sheet is extremely rare. I have never seen or heard of this "pre-Awards" three-sheet before! Condition: good to very good. There is staining on the back of a small part of the poster, which falls in the lower left of the image, but it does not show through to the front. There is a small area of paper loss in the arm of the man holding Oliver in that same area, and small paper loss at the crossfold above it. The poster has a few small defects on the other folds, but is otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
