If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Michael Caine". Condition: good to very good. The poster has fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period) on parts of the top two horizontal folds, with a few tiny crease marks scattered on parts of the folds. Someone lightly partially folded the poster two extra times while it was completely folded, resulting in light partial diagonal creases scattered throughout the poster (see our image). There is also some light brown staining on the back of the top right corner, caused by tape that was attached to that area at one time, and a slight bit of that brown staining has bled through to the front in the white background area. There is a pair of staple holes in the top left and top right background areas, and the top blank border was folded back at one time. After a simple linenbacking, it will look great!
