Description

Citizen Kane (RKO, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
Considered one of the greatest films of all time, this is the alternate Style B one sheet from Orson Welles's brilliant masterpiece! It offers a wonderful alternative to the artwork of most of the film's original campaign, with a beautiful painting by William Rose portraying a young Orson Welles as Kane, with lovely images of Dorothy Comingore and Ruth Warrick facing him. This poster sold the film as a more conventional love story. It is considered, by far, the more desirable style for the original American release on this title. We sold another copy of this glorious poster for $57,500 in our July 2006 auction! This copy shows almost no fold wear other than evidence of the most minor tape lifts from the backside of the three crossfolds, which is not apparent from the front. Otherwise this poster is in magnificent condition with amazingly vibrant colors! Very Fine+ on Linen.
