I assumed the comparisons in this thread were based on each piece as a whole, and not whether they are comprised of rendered images, photographs or some of each.

Well in this case marks have to be awarded on how much effort went into it as well.

True enough.

But i think the mark was missed here, to a degree, imho:

Judging by the title - shouldn't it be two men climbing that Eiffel tower?

Love the daybill and its hand litho color. The US OS is flat, imo.

Please refrain from posting posters from today's auctions...I am still getting over the shlacking I got at the bidding table - it will take a while.

That's a fair request.

Lucky bastard is the one who needs posters that are NOT in Mini/Majors

Wow, I'll take either or both.

The Australian one doesn't show an anchor like the US, it shows a stick bird instead (mid left)

I noticed that too, Steve.

The AUS version is just an exact copy of the US artwork. Why was the anchor altered and made to look like that? To make it slightly unique and not appear to be an almost mirror duplicate?

Tho, the treasure chest and gold coins are slightly different in appearance tho, too, at the bottom.

Must have been a Yank who painted it, the British flag is upside down....

erik1925 · « **Reply #369 on:** March 05, 2013, 01:47:02 PM »

Paul, flags were flown upside down as a distress signal. Also, it was used (flown upside down) by groups under siege during the Boer War and during campaigns in India in the late 18th century.

Perhaps in this scene in the film, this has happened sometime prior to this particular ship.

And if so, then the "Yank" artist painted it correctly for the insert art.

Jeff - he's yanking your (anchor) chain, the UK flag is the same either way...

As to why the cross piece on the anchor is not drawn, perhaps the Australian censors may have gotten over zealous and removed it so it didn't just do that, look like a cross? The most logical explanation thus far?

Hi David- I dont think Paul was "anchor chain yanking..." (were you Paul?) LOL.

found this on wikipedia:

While the flag appears symmetric, the white lines above and below the diagonal red are different widths. On the side closest to the flagpole (or on the left when depicted on paper), the white lines above the diagonals are wider; on the side furthest from the flagpole (or on the right when depicted on paper), the converse is true. Thus, no change will be apparent when rotating the flag 180 degrees, but if mirrored the flag will be upside-down.
