Description

Linen backed, unframed: 79 x 55 in. (200.7 x 139.7 cm)

This poster belonged to a gentleman who had worked for the printers. He and his family had kept the poster in its original folded condition from when it came off the printing press until 2026 when it was conservation linen backed.

This poster was printed in two sheets and designed to be pasted onto billboards. Therefore, only unused examples survived.


This beautiful film was directed by Billy Wilder, and was an adaptation of the screenplay Sabrina Fair, written by Samuel A. Taylor. The play ran on Broadway in 1953. The film stars Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and William Holden. The famous costume designer Edith Head won an Oscar for Best Costumes, but it was rumoured that most of Hepburn's outfits had been created by Hubert de Givenchy, who became a close friend of Hepburn.
