WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOLF Original 3 Sheet Movie Poster Elizabeth Taylor
PLEASE READ CONDITION DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING
Original hand litho Australian three sheet approximately 40" x 80" folded as issued, folded as issued, good – very good condition, multiple pinholes in the borders, fold and edge wear with slight cross point separation and minor paper loss along the edges and foldlines, minor signs of ageing (see enlarged photo). This three sheet is in three separate panels.
The poster comes from a collection of three sheet movie posters recently discovered in country Victoria. Some of the three sheets in the collection had the panels glued together so they could be easily displayed and this will be specifed in the condition description. Condition varies on the posters as they are very large posters but they display well. Linen backing would easily address any issues that they may have.
NOTE: Australian three sheets were printed in very small quantities and few have survived. These posters are among the rarest of all Australian posters.
