  A Season of James Bond 007

  £895.00

  “The names Bond…James Bond.“

  Exploitation of the James Bond phenomenon took many forms. Commercial tie-ins became popular, and films were often re-packaged as double bills for subsequent re-releases. Here, however, we have a British cinema UK quad promoting a “A Season of James Bond 007” films. Believed to date from 1972, participating cinemas would have used this poster to advertise special screenings of earlier Sean Connery Bond films, choosing from “Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice” and “Diamonds Are Forever”. A simple yet striking design, the “trademark” gun barrell opening credits imagery was considered so recognisable, that it would be sufficient to draw paying audiences. These don’t turn up that often especially in this excellent unrestored, originally folded (as issued) condition; the black background is rich and unfaded. It presents and displays superbly and represents a fine example of a scarce and extremely collectable James Bond vintage movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Maurice Binder designed the gun barrel opening at the last minute, by pointing a pinhole camera through a real gun barrel. The actor in the sequence is not Sir Sean Connery, but stuntman Bob Simmons. Connery didn’t film the sequence until Thunderball (1965).

  James Bond: Dr. No

  £275.00

  “007 The double “O” means he has a license to kill when he chooses…where he chooses…whom he chooses!”

  An outstanding limited edition alternative movie poster for Sean Connery’s debut as Ian Fleming’s super spy James Bond in “Dr. No”. A magnificent, James Bond poster with bold vibrant colours and a one of the best  images of Connery as 007 you will see by Yvan Quinet. Immediately recognisable as a Bond film. This alternative movie poster printed in 2026 is particularly scarce with a print run of only 20 is hand-numbered #007, yes, 007. Presented unrestored in original unfolded (as issued), rolled condition this superb example has been printed in the giclee style and appears to have a painted finish. It displays to impressive effect and represents a fantastic piece of collectable James Bond cinematic memorabilia from one of the most respected entries in this long running franchise.

  Trivia: Sir Sean Connery‘s suits for this film were made by Saville Row tailor Anthony Sinclair. Sinclair stated that a truly great bespoke suit would be able to stand up to a good deal of abuse – such as grabbing by the lapels – and still look great afterwards. To prove his point, Connery was asked to sleep in his suit. When he woke up the next morning he was stunned to see that it looked fantastic.

  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.
