Description

Stagecoach (United Artists, R-1950). Fine/Very Fine on Linen. Italian 4 - Fogli (55" X 78") Anselmo Ballester Artwork.
While Heritage Auctions has previously offered Anselmo Ballester's 2 - Fogli designs for the 1950s and 1960s re-releases of Stagecoach, this incredible 4 - Fogli is a first-time offering and is sure to appeal to fans of this incredibly classic title. Few artists have depicted the American Frontier with the skill and intensity of Ballester, and this monumental depiction of John Wayne and crew is no exception. This iconic Western, expertly directed by John Ford, follows a diverse group of strangers on a treacherous stagecoach journey across the plains. The film catapulted both Wayne and Ford to stardom, redefining the genre with its rich character development and layered storytelling. More than just an action-packed adventure, it proved that Westerns could offer depth and complexity, cementing its place as a landmark in cinematic history. This poster has airbrushed borders, touchup along the folds, and other small repairs. From the Frank Darabont Collection.
