Really, really good condition original quad UK cinema poster for a Clint Eastwood double bill of The Gauntlet and The Outlaw Josey Wales. From 1977, never seen blu tack, sellotape or drawing pins. Looks absolutely stunning behind a glass frame, mainly because of the fantastic artwork but also down to the slightly weathered patina. (no tears, just the odd little crease) The folds are really crisp and the printers Name is on the bottom right corner (often trimmed off to get in the tight display windows) Printed by Lonsdale & Bartholomew. The Ultimate Authenticity Proof: Lonsdale & Bartholomew was a prominent commercial lithographic printing company based in Nottingham that major film distributors-like Warner Bros.
EMI, and Columbia-contracted to print official theatrical British Quads throughout the 1960s, 70s, and early 80s. They are famous among collectors for printing legendary posters of the era, including Clint Eastwood's Where Eagles Dare (1969), A Fistful of Dollars (1969 re-release), and James Bond's You Only Live Twice (1967).
