Three Sheet (41" x 80"); Roadshow Release
Very Fine+ Folded; Artwork by Howard Terpning
Columbia , 1962

This is a very rare format, and our major competitors have only sold it four times in thirty years.

This poster was created for the initial roadshow release of director David Lean's epic drama about T.E. Lawrence, inspired by his 1926 book, "Seven Pillars of Wisdom." It features a rare two-panel format and has been folded as originally issued. The poster shows only a few creases, mainly in the lower half, while the colors remain fresh and vibrant. The stylized artwork by Howard Terpning prominently features Peter O'Toole in the design.

Steven Spielberg has stated that David Lean's film "Lawrence of Arabia" is the one that inspired him more than any other. This epic movie portrays the World War I adventures of T.E. Lawrence, played by Peter O'Toole. It won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best director.

Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
