30 x 40 ; The Collection of the Late J. Stephen Ryan
Very Fine- Rolled; Artwork by Guy Pellaert
Columbia, 1976

This 30 x 40 poster features a famous artwork of Robert De Niro on a New York City street. It is rolled and shows some corner creases, light wear, a few tiny edge tears, a slight waviness at the bottom of the left border, and small border stains. Printed on thicker paper stock, these 30 x 40 posters are very sensitive to handling; however, this example is in excellent, unrestored condition.

"Taxi Driver" was a critical and commercial success, despite controversy over its graphic violence and Jodie Foster's role as a child prostitute. Martin Scorsese's portrayal of post-Vietnam New York starred Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle. The film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and earned four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.

Estimate: $500 - 1,000
