Our holy grail poster...

A guaranteed original International 'Style C' one sheet movie poster from 1977 for "Star Wars", now known as "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope".

Written and directed by George Lucas and nominated for a "Best Picture" Oscar, the film introduced us to Mark Hamill (as 'Luke Skywalker'), Harrison Ford (as 'Han Solo'), Carrie Fisher (as 'Princess Leia'), Peter Cushing (as 'Grand Moff Tarkin'), Alec Guinness (nominated in the "Best Supporting Actor" Oscar category, as 'Obi-Wan Kenobi') and a host of actors now very familiar faces to all movie fans.

For us, this is the Star Wars movie poster. The incredible artwork by British movie poster artist Tom Chantrell has become the defining image of the Star Wars universe.

Originally issued tri-folded (so folded twice horizontally, but not vertically), this poster (known as the Star Wars 'Style C' one sheet) has just been professionally linen-backed by our paper conservators and it looks incredible! A true collectors' piece and a legendary movie poster that will look superb framed and on any fan's wall. It is, quite simply, our favourite movie poster of all time.

We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.

Note: This poster is priced unframed. Photos showing framed and 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.

Original Poster Buying Guide

Authenticity & Original Posters

Art of the Movies specialises exclusively in authentic original cinema posters issued for theatrical release. These are not modern reproductions or decorative reprints.

Original posters were produced in limited numbers for cinemas to promote films during their initial release. As a result, surviving examples have become highly collectible artefacts of film history.

Each poster offered on this site is an authentic vintage piece created for cinema exhibition and carefully selected for collectors and film enthusiasts.

Condition & Age

Vintage cinema posters were working promotional materials used by theatres and distributors. As such, signs of age and handling are normal and form part of their character.

Condition is carefully assessed for each poster and reflected in the description. Where relevant, notes may include details such as light handling wear, fold lines from original cinema distribution, or minor edge wear.

Any significant restoration or conservation work will always be clearly stated.

Poster Formats & Dimensions

Original cinema posters were produced in a variety of standard formats depending on the country and era of release.

Common formats include UK Quad, US One Sheet and other theatrical display sizes. Exact dimensions for each poster are provided in the product details where relevant.

These historic formats are part of the distinctive character of original film advertising.

Framing Options

Many posters can be supplied professionally framed as an optional extra.

Framing is carried out using archival-quality materials designed to protect and display vintage paper safely. Frames are prepared to complement the artwork while maintaining a clean, gallery-style presentation.

Where framing is available, it can be selected before purchase.

Packaging & Delivery

Posters are carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery.

Unframed posters are typically shipped rolled safely packaged within our extra-thick custom-made tubes. Framed pieces are securely boxed using protective materials to minimise movement during transit.

Orders are dispatched with tracking where available.
