Auction History Result 4m266 LOT OF 8 TITANIC PRINTER'S TESTS '97 uncut sheets with color bars! Date Sold 1/31/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 8 printer's tests (measuring from 13" x 20" to 20" x 28") from Titanic, the 1997 James Cameron historical romantic ocean liner sinking-ship disaster action tragedy melodrama ("Nothing on Earth could come between them."; "A James Cameron Film"; "From the Director of 'Aliens,' 'T2' and 'True Lies'"; "Winner 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture"; "Collide with destiny"; from the classic true story) starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Danny Nucci, David Warner, Bill Paxton, Gloria Stuart (in her nominated for Best Supporting Actress Academy Award role), and Eric Braeden. Note that the recent discovery that the Titanic broke into three pieces and not two casts severe doubt on the sequence of events of the sinking as portrayed in this movie and several others. It now seems far more likely that the ship sank in a very short period of time, and that the passengers had little chance to perform any of the things they are shown doing in the various movie adaptations of this tragic event! These are uncut printer's test posters (often referred to as "printer's proofs")! 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 28" x 41"). 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. Measurements: from 13" x 20" to 20" x 28"Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
