An Original Vintage Limited Edition French Art Portfolio (measures 12 1/4" x 16 1/2"; 4 pages; #25/40) (Learn More) 12 Affiches Du Cinema (literally translates to "12 Posters of Cinema"), the 1979 French art portfolio featuring movie art by Raymond Gid. This book was a dream of famed French movie poster illustrator Raymond Gid, and he was able to realize it in 1979. The portfolio consists of loose end papers, with two double pages that contained a title page, a page with his signature, and a 2-page spread listing the names of the prints of the posters contained in the portfolio. There is a single folded 2" x 20" "bookmark" that has the number of the specific edition of the portfolio printed at the ends of the bookmark! There are twelve folded posters contained within the portfolio, each of them measuring 23 1/2" x 31 1/2" (which is 60 x 80 cm). The posters are posters that Monsieur Gid designed during his extraordinary career (some are ones that were used, and others are ones that were not used, and there is a wonderful special tribute poster for Charlie Chaplin)! The films include Vampyr, Les Diaboliques, Le Silence de la mer, Histoires Extraordinaires (The Living Dead), La Fille aux yeux d'or, The Birds, French Can-Can, Un coeur gros comme ca, and Therese Raquin. Only 40 of these portfolios were created! One could only wish that someone had ever created a similar portfolio of U.S. posters, either by a single artist like this one, or by multiple artists! Note that each of the posters has a printed paper snipe glued to the back, giving the name of the movie and cast and crew credits for that movie. Artist: Raymond Gid Important Added Info: Note: We have 28 images of the items in this set, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 28 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 18. Also note that this is a wonderful over-sized limited edition portfolio that contains 12 actual 60x80cm (23 1/2" x 31 1/2") folded posters! Only 40 of these portfolios were created, and this is #25 (it has the signature of the artist on the title page). Condition: very good to fine. The hardcover binding has smudges on the blank covers. The enclosed bookmark has minor wear. Otherwise, the portfolio is in wonderful condition. The hardcovers were created with "laces" attached to the covers in three places so that one could tie the laces and keep the portfolio secure. See our many images of this wonderful portfolio (you will need to click on the additional link above to see all of the images, due to space limitations on each of our auctions).
