The Party (1968), style A poster, US
Artist: Jack Davis (1924-2016)
Unframed: 61 x 39 3/4 in. (155 x 101 cm)
The artwork on this piece was also used on the smaller size US poster. This format, used for drive-ins and special displays, is considerably rarer as far fewer were printed. It was printed on heavier paper stock and distributed rolled, making it harder to store than folded posters. Over time many of the rolled posters also got folded. This is one of the unfolded examples. This comedy film was directed by Blake Edwards and stars Peter Sellers and Claudine Longet. This was the only film outside of the Pink Panther films that Sellers and Edwards worked on together.
Condition Report:
Unfolded and linen backed
Material of piece: Paper, backed on linen
Good condition, colours remaining very bright, restoration to small areas of the black background and the borders. The borders also show some small creases in the edges.
