Description

The Big Sleep (Warner Brothers, 1947). Italian 4 - Fogli (55.25" X 76.5") Luigi Martinati Artwork.
Howard Hawks directs this wonderfully complicated film noir based on the novel by Raymond Chandler. This film is a true classic, providing a stellar setting to showcase the electric rapport between stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. As one of Bogart's most popular films, paper from this title is always highly desirable. Offered here is a treasured Italian 2-folio, with stirring artwork by Luigi Martinati. Professional restoration has addressed fold wear, pinholes, and tears and chips in the borders and folds. There were some tears into the interior, and an extra horizontal fold at the bottom. Fine+ on Linen.
