    “And what did you say the name of this shark is ?…It’s a carcaradon carcharias…It’s a Great White.”

    “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.
