Description

Star Wars (1977), style A poster, US


Artist: Tom Jung (born 1942)


Unframed: 60 x 40 in. (152 x 102 cm)


This poster was printed on a heavier paper stock, and distributed unfolded. Over the years many of these posters have been folded, as they are difficult to store. This particular piece remains in its original unfolded state. Far fewer of these style A large format posters, designed for drive-in cinemas and special displays, were printed compared with the standard US poster. This piece features the same artwork as the standard poster, however, it has greater impact owing to its size. 


This piece does not surface very often, especially in this wonderful condition.


This was where it all began back in 1977, when George Lucas founded the Star Wars empire.
