Artist: Paul Lehr Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare teaser one-sheet (note the complete lack of credits and the "One Sheet Teaser" at the bottom of the poster). Note that this printer's test was discovered in 2000! A man in southern California inherited a group of uncut posters (all printer's tests, see below for more on printer's tests), all from 1977, from a man who worked at a printer at that time. Most of the posters were from very forgettable 1977 movies, but included in this great find was eighteen examples of the style A "Star Wars" poster (with the original "77/21-0" NSS number), and thirty three examples of the style C "Star Wars" poster! The posters were consigned to Bruce Hershenson, who sold 18 sets of both a style A and style C poster and 15 individual style C posters. All of the 51 posters sold quickly, and very few have been re-offered for sale in the past seven years. Now, one of the original purchasers of a set of these five printer proof posters has re-consigned them to Bruce Hershenson, and they are being offered for sale, in separate auctions. What are printer's tests? Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Commonly, they would leave the color chart on the left edge of the poster, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 28" x 41"). These printer's tests would then be shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, and once they were completely approved, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine, there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
