Our expert's notes

British Quad; 99 x 67 cm (39" x 26.5")
Fine+ Folded; Roger Kastel
20th Century Fox, 1980

A "Gone with the Wind" Style A Quad from the promotion of Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Considered one of the rarest and most beautiful posters in the Star Wars saga, this British UK Quad for the 1980 release features artwork by Roger Kastel. It is affectionately known as the "Gone with the Wind" style due to its resemblance to Howard Terpning's artwork used on the 1939 film's re-release posters. After a very limited initial release, many of these posters were trimmed for display on the London Underground, with this example being one of those. Widely regarded as the Holy Grail of Star Wars posters, it holds a 10/10 rarity rating from Stephen Sansweet in his Star Wars Poster Book.

Unrestored and trimmed for the London Underground with some fold line wear. Some very small tears on the border and crossfolds have been repaired with tape on the verso.
