Thunderball – Italian 4 Fogli (Rare Advance)

Thunderball (United Artists, 1965). Fine+ on Linen. Italian 4 – Fogli (55″ X 77.5″) Advance, Averardo Cirello Artwork.
This incredible large format Italian poster, a rare advance style, is a first timer here. We are aware of only one other time this has sold in the past making this very rare. It features a detailed image by artist Averardo Ciriello that brilliantly captures the allure of James Bond, placing focus on the sex appeal and dangerous nature of Agent 007. Even while receiving what appears to be a sensual massage from a scantily dressed beauty, Bond is still on guard and aware of his surroundings, gun in hand and ready for action. Before restoration, the poster had fold wear with tear and chips in the folds and borders, along with pinholes.
