Bond is back - and not just on the big screen. To coincide with the belated launch of No Time to Die we were excited to offer a fine selection of vintage 007 posters as part of our October 2021 Vintage & Film Posters live online auction, in partnership with poster specialists Tomkinson Churcher.
A total of 15 Bond posters came under the hammer in October 2021 in our Vintage & Film Posters sale, many of them classics of the genre.
Any vintage poster relating to Sean Connery’s first four Bond films is hugely desirable. Highlights include the poster for Goldfinger (1964) featuring the classic ‘gold lady’ design by Robert Brownjohn.
Everybody has their favourite Bond and for many it is Roger Moore. His fans have a unique opportunity to bid for posters signed by him at Pinewood Studios. The collection includes excellent examples of British quads for The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Moonraker (1979), For Your Eyes Only (1981) and Octopussy (1983). The poster for Octopussy, that combined the artistic talents of Dan Goozee (who provided the figures) and Renato Casaro (the wide action scene montage) led this group.
The James Bond posters, were offered alongside other classic movie posters, such as Saul Bass’s iconic work for Hitchcock’s Vertigo, and a collection of Art Deco travel posters by Roger Broders.
*All sold prices include buyer's premium.
Vintage posters remain hugely popular amongst collectors, particularly those depicting travel and sports and entertainment from a bygone age.
We are pleased to announce a partnership with Vintage Posters specialists Tomkinson Churcher founded by Nicolette Tomkinson and Sophie Churcher, who together have over 30 years of experience. Together, we are proud to offer a series of specialist vintage auctions and exhibitions, in both Edinburgh and London, throughout the year.
