Two UK Double-Crown posters for Live And Let Die (1973). Printed by Lonsdale and Bartholomew Ltd), one of the designs focuses on introducing Roger Moore as the "new" James Bond. This poster emphasised the regime change, "007" being indelibly stamped through the actor's name. Produced as a companion piece, the second Live And Let Die Double Crown poster was printed by The Baynard Press. The poster focuses on the film title only and reprises the technique of replacing the "I" in "DIE" with the image of a dagger (as adopted by the Quad design too). Provenance: The Personal Collection of Dave Worrall.

(each double-crown): 20" x 30" (51 x 76 cm)

Additional Information: Printed in England by Lonsdale & Bartholomew Ltd. Nottingham and The Baynard Press.
