Italian Photobusta (20" x 16" Rolled (5), 26" x 18" Folded (10)
Fine+ Various
Paramount, 1968

This wonderful collection includes 10 Italian photobustas, with four of the pieces being duplicates and two being singles. All of them show some wear, particularly at the center fold, along with some edge wear and small tears. Additionally, there are five oversized glossy photo displays. They are in excellent condition and rolled.

Roger Vadim's 'swinging sixties' sci-fi fantasy launched the career of Jane Fonda and firmly established her as one of the decade's sexiest actresses. Printed to promote the film was this commercial poster issued by the company Personality Posters, which features Jane Fonda as the titular space heroine posing with a Penguin. Commercial posters rarely attain any real value, but this particular piece is hugely collectible as it was recalled at the time due to legal and licensing issues. The poster was printed in two sizes, with this example having normal-size borders. This example is rolled with some handling wear, pinholes in each corner and tape remnants around the borders.
