Collection Notes
Original posters from a changing decade of cinema
The 1960s hold a particular fascination because they contain two visual temperaments at once. Part of the decade still carries the polish, balance and presentational clarity associated with the classic studio era, while another part opens toward bolder themes, pop influence and a more contemporary sense of rhythm. The posters often stand right on that divide.
That gives the category unusual richness. Bond, westerns, thrillers, epics, pop iconography and the influence of international cinema all meet within the same period, creating a decade that feels coherent without ever becoming narrow. For collectors interested in posters that reflect cinema reshaping its public face, the 1960s remain one of the most rewarding eras to explore.
Collector Guidance
What to know before you buy
Practical notes on originality, condition, sizes, framing and delivery for collectors considering pieces from this collection.
Original cinema posters
Every poster we sell is an original theatrical cinema poster, produced for cinema use rather than later reproduction. This remains one of the most important distinctions for collectors.
Original movie posters vs reproductions
An original movie poster was produced as part of a film’s theatrical advertising campaign. It is different from a later decorative print or reproduction. At Art of the Movies, we specialise in original cinema posters, lobby cards and movie stills, carefully checked and clearly described for collectors.
Condition and age
Condition varies naturally with age, use and format. We describe each piece carefully so you can judge its appeal both as film memorabilia and as an object for display.
Poster sizes and formats
Collections may include one sheets, quads, lobby cards, stills and other formats. Measurements, scale and format are always worth checking before purchase or framing.
Framing and display
Many collectors choose professional framing or light box display depending on the format. Where suitable, display options can help turn a poster into a more immediate interior piece.
Packaging and delivery
Orders are packed with care and sent with the same attention we bring to sourcing and describing the posters themselves, helping them arrive ready for collection or display.
