  One Million Years B.C.

  £3,595.00

  “Travel back through time and space to the edge of man’s beginnings… discover a savage world whose only law was lust !“

  “One Million Years B.C.” is the most iconic of all Hammer posters features the quintessential image of Raquel Welch at her peak. Designed and illustrated by Tom Chantrell, Welch’s clad in fur-bikini image formed the centrepiece for arguably the most successful marketing campaign in Hammer’s history. Extremely scarce this is a country of origin example ‘full size artwork’ (another version exists with smaller imagery which was used by the ABC cinema chain with the backup feature The Bugs Bunny Show) UK quad film poster from first year of release 1966. Totally original and unrestored this sought after example needs to be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated. Originally folded (as issued) this exceptional poster has stood the test of time and displays to excellent effect. The vibrant bright pink lettering really zings from the paper (apologies but this doesn’t really come across in the photograph). One of the best examples of British movie poster artwork and a real personal favourite. Incredibly collectable it represents one of the most desirable film posters ever produced and a fine piece of iconic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: A poster of Raquel Welch‘s character of Loana from this film was featured in numerous other films and TV series episodes. One of the most famous examples of this is the film The Shawshank Redemption (1994).

  One Million Years B.C.

  £195.00

  “Travel back through time and space to the edge of man’s beginnings… discover a savage world whose only law was lust !“

  “One Million Years B.C.” is the most iconic of all Hammer’s non-horror offerings with the original Tom Chantrell UK quad featuring the quintessential image of Raquel Welch at her peak, one of the most desirable movie posters for any collector. But the movie also featured ground breaking (and the best) dinosaur special effects seen on the big screen (at the time), created by the master of stop motion Ray Harryhausen. And it’s the dinosaurs that dominate the imagery on tis Japanese B2 for the 1985 re-release, with a T-Rex, Triceratops, Pterodactyl, Brontosaurus and Allosaurus all beautifully represented – for the non-dinosaur fans there is of course a great shot of Miss Welch wearing the obligatory fur-bikini. Totally original and unrestored this sought after example is presented in originally folded (as issued) condition and displays to excellent effect. It’s a very cool looking poster with a design unique to this Japanese release and incredibly collectable that represents a fine piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: A poster of Raquel Welch‘s character of Loana from this film was featured in numerous other films and TV series episodes. One of the most famous examples of this is the film The Shawshank Redemption (1994).
