From the personal archive of the artist Tom Chantrell comes this beautiful UK Quad "Non-Oscars" poster for "Star Wars" (1977). The "Non-Oscars" version of this poster was used in the early weeks of the UK release and was subsequently replaced with the "Oscars" version. The "Non-Oscars" version is by far the scarcer of the two Quads, with Chantrell's "Star Wars" poster imagery achieving iconic status. Although he previewed the film and was given set photographs stills, Chantrell took photos of his wife in the back garden posing as Princess Leia that he used for reference in the creation of his poster composition. Never displayed or used and offered unrestored, this example remains in rare unfolded condition with deep, rich colour tones and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the Chantrell Collection signed by the Archive's curator Mike Bloomfield and Tom's Wife Shirley.
