Exploitation of the James Bond phenomenon took many forms. Commercial tie-ins became popular, and films were often re-packaged as double bills for subsequent re-releases. Here, however, we have a British cinema UK quad promoting a “A Season of James Bond 007” films. Believed to date from 1972, participating cinemas would have used this poster to advertise special screenings of earlier Sean Connery Bond films, choosing from “Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice” and “Diamonds Are Forever”. A simple yet striking design, the “trademark” gun barrell opening credits imagery was considered so recognisable, that it would be sufficient to draw paying audiences. These don’t turn up that often especially in this excellent unrestored, originally folded (as issued) condition; the black background is rich and unfaded. It presents and displays superbly and represents a fine example of a scarce and extremely collectable James Bond vintage movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Maurice Binder designed the gun barrel opening at the last minute, by pointing a pinhole camera through a real gun barrel. The actor in the sequence is not Sir Sean Connery, but stuntman Bob Simmons. Connery didn’t film the sequence until Thunderball (1965).

“007 The double “O” means he has a license to kill when he chooses…where he chooses…whom he chooses!”
An outstanding limited edition alternative movie poster for Sean Connery’s debut as Ian Fleming’s super spy James Bond in “Dr. No”. A magnificent, James Bond poster with bold vibrant colours and a one of the best images of Connery as 007 you will see by Yvan Quinet. Immediately recognisable as a Bond film. This alternative movie poster printed in 2026 is particularly scarce with a print run of only 20 is hand-numbered #007, yes, 007. Presented unrestored in original unfolded (as issued), rolled condition this superb example has been printed in the giclee style and appears to have a painted finish. It displays to impressive effect and represents a fantastic piece of collectable James Bond cinematic memorabilia from one of the most respected entries in this long running franchise.
Trivia: Sir Sean Connery‘s suits for this film were made by Saville Row tailor Anthony Sinclair. Sinclair stated that a truly great bespoke suit would be able to stand up to a good deal of abuse – such as grabbing by the lapels – and still look great afterwards. To prove his point, Connery was asked to sleep in his suit. When he woke up the next morning he was stunned to see that it looked fantastic.
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.

“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.” 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.

One of the most fun of all the famous (and infamous) Hammer productions and that’s not just because of the scantily clad prehistoric cave girls (with many on display here) but also a bright day-glo pink poster by Tom Chantrell for the 1967 release of Michael Carreras’ “Slave Girls”. Chantrell’s poster for the British marketing campaign was accompanied by an impressive front of house lobby card set of eight. The complete set (of eight cards) as offered here, contains some memorable imagery, in particular a great, shot of Martine Beswick, perfectly cast as the evil Queen Kari as she lounges on a bed animal skins. Extremely scarce as a complete set, these country of origin examples from first year of release 1967 are presented in totally original and unrestored, high grade condition. A Hammer movie that is a real personal favourite with me, with paper from it incredibly collectable.
Trivia: Shot in only four weeks using sets and costumes from One Million Years B.C. (1966), in order to offset the earlier film’s cost of £140,000 pounds.
