If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there is a NSS stamp on the back of the poster that reads "You Only Live Twice 67/115 1SH. B Teaser". However, the front of the poster has a large black blank area. The large black blank area is part of the printing and is not "over printed". This poster is part of a series of teaser posters that was designed to be used in succession revealing more of the poster with each stage - "First", "Then", "Next", and finally "Last" when the title was revealed. The idea was to promote the heritage of the Bond films and remind audiences that this was the 'true' Bond film (most likely due to competition from "Casino Royale"). 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 "James Bond". Condition: good to very good. There is approximately 1/4" of separation in each crossfold and there are minor creases and scuffs along the foldlines. It is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
