Art / Print / Poster First Edition
No Binding. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A really lovely Finnish A2 one-sheet, cinema poster for the 1959 movie, MARJORIE MORNINGSTAR starring Gene Kelly & Natalie Wood. The film was first screened in cinemas in Finland in 1959 with no subsequent theatrical screenings. This poster is not a modern reproduction and nor is it Video/DVD-related The "small" standard vintage Finnish film poster is the most common and collected version and approximates in size to the German or Hungarian A2. Sizes do vary slightly depending on the studio or printers involved and the era. Stylistically, vintage Finnish movie posters rarely reproduce the same art-work from the original studios' publicity material. Older films were usually re-named in Finnish (and Swedish below) but nearly always referenced the original title of the movie somewhere in the presentation. This particular poster was printed by Piirtopaino Oy and is a standard size 23.5" x 15.75" approx. It is in fantastic unused condition - unfolded which is very rare for the era, and with no chips or tears to the edges. Near Mint - there are no discernible faults with this poster. Beautifully illustrated and artist signature (Engel) in the plate. A stunning example of vintage cinema art and design.
