Restoration: Linen-backed

Grade: C6 Fine. Folded, single-sided. Prior to linen backing this was a theater used poster with minor handling/edge/fold wear, several pinholes in each corner, some small edge/fold splits and cross fold separation, and the paper was a bit fragile with age. After expert restoration including small bits of paper replacement and slight air brushing of the borders it now appears near mint.

Framing: List prices are for posters only. Please inquire to discuss framing options.

Price: $2,400

While Vertigo is now recognized as one of the defining works of Hitchcock’s career and one of the greatest films ever made, it received mixed reviews upon initial release and was not commercial hit. Perhaps this is why original release posters are so scarce — aside from the Saul Bass US 1-sheet of course, which was rightly recognized instantly as a masterpiece!

While obviously very different in style and mood than the Saul Bass modernist 1-sheet, this Italian poster is perhaps a more fitting style for the dark and suspenseful film. Italian artist Sandro Symeoni conjured up incredible and intense portraits of leads James Stewart and Kim Novak. A rare and desireable poster!
