Description
Casablanca (Warner Bros., 1947). Very Fine on Linen. First Post-War Release French Half Grande (31.5" X 46.5") Pierre Pigeot Artwork.Offered in this lot is a very scarce poster, a smaller format French half grande with magnificent artwork by Pierre Pigeot. Almost three years ago, Heritage sold the larger format with less intense colors for $239,000! There is no doubt about how this classic picture was being promoted in Europe. Ingrid Bergman was an international star, and far more popular in Europe than her co-stars, Humphrey Bogart and Paul Henried. Bergman dominates this first post-war release French poster, overshadowing Bogart and Sydney Greenstreet as they linger over a chess game. It has received touchup to the folds, pinholes, and a few small tears in the borders. Some of the pinholes are in the image area, including a few in Bogart and Bergman's images. Otherwise, this poster is in fantastic shape and should be at the top of the list for any fan of classic cinema.
Please see full-color, enlargeable images above for more details.
