    Captain America: The First Avenger

    £175.00

    “Whatever happens tomorrow you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.”

    Rich Davies’ alternative movie poster for one of the corner stone characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe “Captain America: The First Avenger” is an incredible, retro looking piece with an amazing 1940s vibe heavily influenced by the Flash Gordon/Buster Crabbe pulp serials of the period, from the dynamic content to the striking typography. Printed on to textured art paper using giclee inks the colours pop from the paper that when combined with the faux foldlines have a dramatic effect. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks stunning and displays to excellent effect. One of the best looking posters for any of the Marvel Studios’ releases it represents a fine piece of collectable modern cinema movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Originally cameo appearances were planned in the film for James “Logan” Howlett (Wolverine) and Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto), who were present during World War II (Logan was a soldier and Lehnsherr was in an internment camp). These cameos were scrapped due to rights issues.

    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.
