  Girl on a Motorcycle

  £1,295.00

  “She’s always naked under leather”

  A fantastic looking and incredibly rare piece of British cinematic history that perfectly embodied the swinging sixties…a 1968 UK quad film poster for Jack Cardiff’s cult  psychedelic ‘road’  movie “Girl on a Motorcycle”. This is an exceptional Style A example designed by John Armstrong where the content and layout is perfectly suited by the landscape format of a UK quad. With this design more commonly found with an ABC snipe running across the top image area this full bleed, all artwork style is incredibly rare and the first time we have ever offered one for sale. Marianne Faithfull really looks the part, clad in leather catsuit astride her Harley Davidson zipping through the forests of France.  As you would expect from such a high grade example, colours are deep and unfaded complemented by unforgettable and sexy imagery of Faithfull. Totally original and unrestored in excellent folded (as issued) condition. Atrue investment grade piece of original highly collectable extremely scarce cinema movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Marianne Faithfull‘s gift motorcycle is a Harley Davidson Electra Glide; Alain Delon rides a 750cc Norton Atlas.

  Girl on a Motorcycle

  £225.00

  “She’s always naked under leather”

  A wonderfully stylish Japanese B2 movie poster for the 1973 re-release of “The Girl on a Motorcycle”, also known as La Motocyclette, the cult 1968 film starring Marianne Faithfull and Alain Delon.

  The Japanese design is particularly striking, dominated by a dramatic portrait of Delon together with images of Faithfull in her unforgettable black leather motorcycle suit. Bold Japanese typography, vivid red, blue and yellow colouring and prominent motorcycle imagery combine to create a superb example of 1970s Japanese poster design.

  Directed by acclaimed cinematographer and filmmaker Jack Cardiff, “The Girl on a Motorcycle” is remembered for its distinctive visual style and the iconic image of Marianne Faithfull as Rebecca, travelling across Europe on her Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

  This original 1973 Japanese re-release poster is rolled (as issued) and presented in high grade condition. A particularly attractive and evocative Japanese poster featuring two of European cinema’s most recognisable stars.

  Trivia: Marianne Faithfull‘s gift motorcycle is a Harley Davidson Electra Glide; Alain Delon rides a 750cc Norton Atlas.
