Our expert's notes

Frank McCarthy's art is stunning in this very rare large format Advance US Subway poster and only the second example to be offered by Propstore.
In Thunderball, Sean Connery returns for his fourth outing as 007 who is hot on the trail of two nuclear warheads which have been stolen by SPECTRE's agent Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi).
The "Look Up!" jetpack design by McCarthy is arguably more desirable than the "Look Out!" bikini girl artwork by Robert McGinnis that features on the other Advance US Subway. While both versions are rare, the design on offer here is certainly scarcer.
Conservation linen-backed with only the slightest amount of restoration dotted around where needed. There are some nicks and tears around the borders (mainly the along top) with one 4cm tear in the bottom right corner. Otherwise it is in excellent condition with bright whites and saturated colours. Dimensions: 116 cm x 151 cm (45.5" x 59.5")
