“Jaws” is probably the most important film of ‘modern’ cinema, launching a movie trend that is now commonly referred to as the ‘Summer Blockbuster’. It also happens to have some of the most incredible and memorable series of scenes of any movie. These scenes are largely mapped out beforehand using illustrated storyboards. For “Jaws” the storyboards were created by the multi award winner production designer – Joe Alves. The storyboard offered here is an exact replica of the one used in production featuring a scene from the climax of the film as the great white launches itself at the stern of the boat. Printed on off-white colour cardstock paper, Alves himself has added a coloured, hand-drawn shark illustration, hand-lettered “JAWS” and has personally-signed it with shark Remarque added to his signature. Each of these are unique with none of Alves’ personal annotations and illustrations the same. Originally rolled, flat and unfolded (as issued) this example displays to exceptional effect. Extremely rare, represents an impressive item of highly sought after modern cinematic memorabilia…“You’re gonna need a bigger boat !”

What is Giclee ?
Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.
The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.
Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

The blood red colouring of the infamous T-rex skeleton makes for one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable films in movie history. It can only be Steven Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster “Jurassic Park”. Ground breaking and game changing are phrases banded around far to easily in this day of modern cinema but “Jurassic Park” truly deserves these accolades. A massive worldwide success on its release with merchandising and memorabilia hugely sought after with numerous posters produced for the title, some better than others with this example by Andrew Swainson certainly one of the most impressive. Swainson takes one of the most memorable scenes from the film as the T-Rex bursts from the trees to chase the jeep. From 2024 this rolled (as issued) alternative movie poster displays and presents to excellent effect and in addition to such incredible imagery this poster has been hand-signed and remarqued with a velociraptor by the artist to the bottom right corner area. A fine piece of movie memorabilia from the film that kickstarted the CGI phenomenon and made millions fall in love with a T-Rex.
Trivia: The novel was published in 1990. However, pre-production of the film began in 1989, using only Michael Crichton‘s manuscript. It was widely believed that the book would be such a hit that it would make an outstanding movie. It turns out that assumption was correct

In 1968 George A. Romero released the zombie classic “Night of the Living Dead”. The one-sheet poster that accompanied the release is a true icon of poster design using zombie footage from the movie and printed using black, white and lurid green imagery. The original poster has been reworked and sharpened up in 2024 by Bottlneck Gallery and ISH with colour separations by a true master of his craft – Jason Edmiston, who used the all red style, replicating the look of the 10th Anniversary (1978) one-sheet design. The studio had this to say on the release “George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead helped create the walking dead genre of film, and the original one-sheet movie poster is as bold and iconic now as it was in the late ‘60s. We worked with ISH and artist extraordinaire Jason Edmiston to revive the original one-sheet theatrical poster art in order to create an officially licensed, and horrifyingly awesome, screen print edition! The poster features bold design aesthetics with the title and credit work, all dutifully reanimated by Jason’s deft hand.” Presented in excellent unrestored, originally rolled (as issued) condition this variant edition is hand-numbered #6/100 and comes printed in a deep blood red colour tone. A highly desirable example of cinema memorabilia from perhaps the most influential horror film of the modern era.
