Our expert's notes

Three French posters for David Lean's epic Lawrence of Arabia. The picture won seven Oscars and boasts an all-star cast of Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Omar Sharif and, of course, Peter O'Toole as the titular Lawrence.
This lot consists of a first release Style A Grande featuring an outline of Lawrence against a bold red background designed by Georges Kerfyser. The second Grande is from a 1971 re-release with Michel Landi's wonderful artwork of Lawrence with sword in hand and leading the charge. The final poster is a first release Petite with artwork almost identical to Howard Terpning's design for the US campaign.
All three posters are conservation linen-backed with light fold line restoration. Dimensions (Georges Kerfyser Grande): 159 cm x 117 cm (62.5" x 46"); (Michel Landi Grande): 157 cm x 118 cm (62" x 46.5"); (Petite): 77 cm x 58 cm (30.5" x 22.75")
