Description

Destination Moon (Pathé, 1950). One Sheet (27" X 41").
The 1950s was a decade saturated with films that documented fictitious trips to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. This was one of the few that made an honest attempt to tell a compelling story with a high degree of technical accuracy. Using everything from paintings by renowned space artist Chesley Bonestell to Woody Woodpecker cartoons, the movie captured the imagination of the movie-going public, and even won an Academy Award for Best Special Effects. A wonderful rendering of a rocket blasts off over a sleeping metropolis on this highly prized one sheet. The poster has been restored to correct pinholes in the corners, a small chip in the top border, and extra vertical creases. Very Fine- on Linen.
