The Bravados Poster

UK silk-screened Lift Bill cinema poster (16 1/2"x 22 1/2") for the Gregory Peck-Joan Collins western "The Bravados" (1958) with poster artwork by Tom Beauvais etc, the poster coming from the private collection of the artist.

Tom Beauvais worked closely with Tom Chantrell at the Allardyce ad agency before setting up his own business, "Chapman-Beauvais" in 1975. Among the vast roster of posters Beauvais created were "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid (1969), "Fantastic Voyage" (1966), Mad Max (1979) & Zombie Flesh Eaters" (1980).

For more extensive biographical detail about Tom Beauvais, please refer to the excellent book "British Film Posters" (2006) by Sim Branaghan & the insightful Eddie Shannon interview with Tom: https://www.filmonpaper.com/blog/an-interview-with-tom-beauvais/

This is an important poster for Beauvais collectors dating from his earliest period, "A Hatful of Rain" (1957) being his first solo poster commission. Designed to be displayed in smaller retail outlets, UK Lift Bills were printed in small numbers & are relatively rare, this one bespoke for the Carlton Haymarket.

Poster unfolded with light creasing, minor paper loss to bottom left corner, old adhesive marks to the reverse & a couple of marks to upper rim but as explained this is a rare poster. A LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY SIGNED BY TOM BEAUVAIS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS POSTER.
