Artist: A.R. Thomson & S. John Woods Important Added Info: Note that this poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this classic English Ealing comedy starring Alec Guinness, is the extremely rare first release British quad! We have only once before auctioned this first release British quad, six years ago, and that example sold for $5,011 (in "good to very good" condition, with creases and tears around the edges and small paper loss at the crossfolds and in one part of the border). That example has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Incidentally, we are certain this is from the very first English release, because when we auctioned the first one, we checked with Sim Branaghan, the world's leading authority on British posters, and he assured us that it was absolutely from the first release.

The poster had some creases and small tears in parts of the borders (more so in the top left corner), with tiny paper loss in the right of the top border, and diagonal creases in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well, although you can see slight signs of the border restoration.
