  Apollo 11

  £95.00

  “NASA realized after the Apollo 11 mission had returned to Earth that they had no good pictures of the First Man on the Moon to show to the world. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin said later: ‘As the sequence of lunar operations evolved, Neil had the camera most of the time, and the majority of pictures taken on the Moon that include an astronaut are of me. It wasn’t until we were back on Earth and in the lunar receiving laboratory, looking over the pictures, that we realised there were few pictures of Neil. My fault, perhaps, but we had never simulated this in our training.’.”

  In 2019 it was 50 years since Man first walked on the Moon and this excellent UK quad is the perfect complement to this historic moment. “Apollo 11” from Todd Douglas Miller is crafted from a newly discovered trove of 70mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, “Apollo 11” takes us straight to the heart of NASA’s most celebrated mission—the one that first put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future. The Buzz Aldrin ‘Visor’ photograph taken by Neil Armstrong is one of the most famous images in the world, it’s a poignant & almost haunting image. Presented with minimal handling wear, and offered in rolled (as issued) condition this displays to superb effect and represents a truly fine item of historically important film poster memorabilia.

  “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Click HERE to see Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the Moon.

  Trivia: Several of the recordings captured by the astronauts during the mission are featured in this documentary. These recordings by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins earned them honorary memberships in the American Society of Cinematographers.

  Quatermass and the Pit

  £2,250.00

  “A Force more powerful than 1,000 H-Bombs unleashed to devastate earth ! World in panic ! Cities in flames !”

  A beautiful and incredibly rare country of origin UK quad film poster and one of Hammer’s best for Roy Ward Baker’s 1967 supernatural alien invasion thriller “Quatermass and the Pit”. Tom Chantrell’s magnificent detailed artwork; heaving bosoms, London aflame in ruins, glittering spaceships, martian devils is stunning…A personal favourite and featured in Marcus Hearn’s excellent book “The Art of Hammer”. Folded (as issued) with strong vibrant colours this totally original unrestored investment grade example from first year of release 1967 presents superbly and is a very rare example of country of origin Hammer Horror memorabilia and one of the best movie posters produced from one of their finest and most respected productions…“You realise what you are implying? That we owe our human condition here to the intervention of insects”

  Trivia: When Dr. Quatermass is picking at the eyeball of the dead Martian creature in his laboratory, the pupils of the compound eye are a rectangular slot shape rather then round like a human eye. This is reminiscent of a goat’s eye, a creature that, for centuries, has been associated with witchcraft and sorcery.
