"Per Qualche Dollaro in Più" was released in Italy in 1965 but it was another 18 months until its debut in the US. This first release Italian Two-Panel (4-Fogli) is a simple design featuring "The Man With No Name" alongside an eye-catching blood-red bullet wound in a testament to how successful a poster can be with just two simple, but effective, central images and use of minimal colour. Offered for the first time by Propstore this country of origin, Italian example is an important find for Eastwood, Sergio Leone and Spaghetti Western collectors.

55" x 78"(140 x 198 cm)

Condition: Very Good to Excellent

Presented conservation linen-backed with some visible restoration including foldline touch-up, areas of the poncho as well as some of the white lettering with heavier restoration around the blue border. There is a scuff with paper-loss in the bottom left corner and a crease to the linen in the top-left corner which has slightly hit the edge of the poster. There are small scattered areas of restoration but they are only visible upon close inspection. Despite this, the poster displays to excellent effect and a brilliant centrepiece for any collection.
