    Lot Essay

    Concept and design by Vic Fair, illustration by Brian Bysouth.

    The art deco design for this elusive British one-sheet is seldom seen. The studio was not overwhelmed by the image of Bond wearing a white tuxedo and consequently the poster had a very limited print run and an alternative design was used for the British campaign. The poster on offer here is unused and was taken by Vic Fair directly from the printers before it was cut down to the standard 40x27in. size and shows the printer's colour codes.
