Australian Daybill, Australian One Sheet, One Sheet, 40 x 60 (13" x 30", 27" x 40", 27" x 41", 40" x 60") ;
Very Fine+ Folded; Artwork by Brian Bysouth (2), Dan Goozee (1)
United Artists, 1979 - 1987

This group of four posters from the James Bond franchise includes two from "The Living Daylights" (1987): an Australian daybill folded in spectacular condition and an Australian one sheet folded in excellent condition, displaying light fold and edge wear. While the US posters feature a photographic design, these Australian posters boast superb artwork in the style of the earlier Bond films, as created by Bryan Bysouth. Artist Dan Goozee created the one sheet for "Moonraker" (1979), which is folded in outstanding condition. From "Octopussy" (1983) is a 40 x 60 poster, which is rolled in outstanding condition. This example has survived the test of time beautifully, as this format, which is printed on a thicker paper stock, is very intolerant to handling, yet this example is in near-perfect condition. The grade shown is an average of the group.

James Bond is a fictional British secret agent created by novelist Ian Fleming in 1953.

Eon Productions, which holds the adaptation rights to Fleming's novels, produced all but two of the films.
