Lawrence of Arabia

Original 1962 British quad film poster for "Lawrence of Arabia". Peter O'Toole is painted in the role of one of Britain's charismatic heroes: T.E. Lawrence astride his camel brandishing sword in hand. Military historians still do not fully understand the nature of the Arab revolt against the Turks during the First World War with the artwork here magnificent in detail for a film which David Lean took 15 months filming in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, England and Spain. The Technicolor scope of the film lends itself best to artwork on a landscape format. The brightest of colours on this wonderful historic film poster and the first that we have seen. Printed in England by Stafford & Co. of Nottingham and London. The poster features great artwork of the action scenes from the film including close-ups of the main characters. This lightly folded film poster has the title written twice in blue ink on the reverse together with two small conservation tape squares at the centre folds on the reverse none of which show through to the front.
