Artist: Henry Villegas Important Added Info: This is a very rare uncut printer's test poster (often referred to as a "printer's proof")! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Because they needed to be shown to people at the studio, people in the art department, the stars, etc, they would print a number of test posters and distribute them to these people. Some of them would be fully trimmed, but often they would leave the color chart on the left edge of many of the posters, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 26" x 40" [66 x 102 cm]). Once these printer's test posters were shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test poster far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine as there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! Note that this poster has been personally autographed (signed) by artist Henry Villegas! Also note that this print is an "artist's proof" that was printed in a much lesser amount for the artist by the printer (note that "AP" written on the print and the number "3"). Since AP's are "closer to the artist's hand" they tend to be much more valuable than the prints of a signed and numbered limited edition! Condition: very good to fine.
