Description

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1944). Fine+ on Linen. Australian One Sheet (26.5" X 40.5").
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman deliver standout performances in what many consider to be one of the finest films in cinema history. Against the backdrop of wartime Casablanca, they rekindle a romance amidst political intrigue, corruption, and murder. A triumph with critics and audiences alike, the picture went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay, and Bogart would receive his first nomination for Best Actor. Paper from this early Australian campaign with Academy Award notice is a rare sight and we are unaware of another copy of this poster appearing at auction. Professionally restored, this magnificent poster once showed edge wear, slight fold wear and separations, mild creases, pinholes, and small tears. There was some slight paper loss in the borders, especially along the top edge of the upper border, and the upper and lower borders have been airbrushed. There are still some faint stains in the title area, but this does little to detract from the piece's wonderful overall presentation. Fine+ on Linen.
