Our expert's notes

A 1977 original year of release "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" Style C UK Quad featuring Tom Chantrell's artwork. This is the "Awards Version" produced after the movie had won seven Oscars®. The original Jung and Hildebrand posters were not really that commercial in terms of characterisation. Tom Chantrell produced this new look, all-action, bolder, brighter looking poster. Easily the most recognisable of all the Star Wars posters, it is this design that has become synonymous with the franchise. The unrestored example here is offered folded (as issued) with some minor handling wear.

30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)

Additional Information: Printed in England by W.E. Berry Limited, Bradford

Condition: Good to Very Good

Unrestored, folded (as issued), minor handling wear relevant to age with a 1" clean tear (no paperloss) to left edge (top). No pinholes, or paper loss.

Artist: Tom Chantrell
