Artist: Bob Peak Important Added Info: This is a very rare (we have never auctioned one before!) 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 30" x 43" [76 x 109 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 30" x 43" [76 x 109 cm]. Also note that this is an advance one-sheet (note the "ADVANCE 1 SHT." at the bottom of the poster). Condition: good. There is light rippling scattered in portions of the poster due to exposure to moisture and there is some dot staining mainly in the lower credits area.
