Our expert's notes

A magnificent country of origin US One-Sheet poster for George Pal’s sci-fi time travel masterpiece for H G Wells’ “The Time Machine” (1960). Beautiful Reynold Brown painted artwork for one of the best film’s of the genre that features ‘George Wells’ battling it out against the cannibalistic Morlocks. A classic movie poster that has been conservation linen-backed and presents superbly. The original screen used time machine was sold at the MGM studio auction in 1971. The winner of the auction was the owner of a traveling show. Five years later the prop was found in a thrift store in Orange, CA. Film historian Bob Burns purchased it for $1,000. Using blueprints his friend George Pal had given him years earlier, he and a crew of friends restored it. The restoration crew included D.C. Fontana script consultant and writer on Star Trek (1966) and Michael Minor art director on Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982). (Provenance: The Personal Collection of Bryan Fuller)
