This is not a reprint or reproduction poster, it is a genuine original vintage 1985 Australian theatre release colour one sheet movie poster printed by Robert Burton, Sydney, Australia. Australian One Sheet movie posters are 27” x 40” not 27” x 41” like their American counter parts and can vary an inch in length dependent on the printers used to produce them. Modern American posters are now also 27” x 40” but modern posters can also vary by ½” to 1” dependent on the printer used. Australian printers were under licence to produce the posters as they saw fit for Australian audiences and many artists did different variations to the American one-sheets.The artists would generally use US poster art or press book images for their inspiration and they would either trace or use their own imagination or a combination of both to come up with a new design for the poster. Many vintage one-sheet posters were usually produced using the stone litho process which produced rich deep colours but were only printed in limited quantities. It is believed that as few as 200 one sheets were printed for films up to 1950. This explains the rarity of the Australian one sheet movie posters. The Australian one-sheet movie posters used to be issued folded but now most modern posters are issued rolled and many come directly from the distributors in America as the American one-sheets are also now 27” 40” but can vary slightly in length size dependent on the distributor and printer used. Many are now also double-sided for use in light boxes. Image Information: A picture speaks a thousand words and form an important part of the item description so please take the time to look at all the images carefully. All images of the actual item for sale and are photographed under natural lighting (where possible) and have not been digitally doctored. We do not use stock photos so what you see is what you get. Combined Postage Information: We will combine any auction or fixed price posters to save you on postage. If you are buying multiple posters please let us know and then wait until we adjust the invoice before making payment. All posters are either rolled and shipped in a cylinder or folded into their original folds and carefully flat packed into a protective sleeve and large stiff mailing folder ($2.49 each) with backing board for extra protection during transit. For those concerned about shipping cost please note: The shipping pricing is out of my hands and Australia Post has recently increased their prices. I only charge $2 extra and that is because I pack the posters into a plastic sleeve and then into a stiff envelope ($2.49 each from Officeworks) with backing card (not between a couple of pieces of crappy cardboard or rolling folded posters as it affects the folds) so I am actually losing on postage. How Our Posters Are GradedAll images of the posters are of the actual poster for sale so what you see is what you get, we do not use stock photos. Very Fine – Almost Mint: Unused with no flaws. Fine: Generally unused with the original folds and possible signs of minor ageing but no significant flaws. Very Good: These have the usual folds, possibly some pinholes, possible very light blue tack stain spots, minor edge or fold wear, splits or tears, and unobtrusive stains but no paper loss. Good: Has possible staining, pinholes, minor paper lifts in corners, small tears (possibly taped on reverse) slight fold separations, minor paper loss, and possible blue tack stain spots, and edge wear but still good enough to frame. Fair: These posters will need some restoration and are usually only sold on this site if they are rare and hard to find. There will be a combination of tears, paper loss, staining, pinholes and blue tack stains but because of the rarity of the poster, worth linen backing. About Australian Movie Posters:The hand litho process was usually utilized for Australian daybill posters resulting in a rich texture of artwork with subtle toning that was often unique to Australia. The artists would generally use US poster art or press book images for their inspiration and they would either trace or use their own imagination or a combination of both to come up with a design for the poster. The daybill sizes varied considerably from 13" x 30" from the 40s to the mid 60s to 13" x 26" in the 80s. The Australian one-sheets were normally 27” x 40” as compared to the US 27” x 41” one-sheets. Certain firms seem to predominate during certain periods, such as W.E. Smith of Sydney during the 1940s and 1950s. Several other printers like F. Cunninghame & Co. Pty. Ltd. (litho) Sydney, Royelltone Prints Pty. Ltd., and Simmons Ltd. printed older posters but W.E. Smith and Robert Burton produced most. During the 70s M.A.P.S started producing movie posters and there is an overlap where both Robert Burton and M.A.P.S printed some of the same original posters. Other printers like Brown Prior Anderson in Burwood, Victoria, Australia, also printed some of the B grade and R rated Australian posters and, some of the film distributors like Roadshow produced their own posters. It is important to note that daybills for the original release of a film often included a lesser duotone and black and white style. In many cases these are mistakenly referred to as copies or later reissues but they were generally released at the same time the full colour versions were issued so are also originals.
