The Nixdorf Collection - James Bond Poster & Art Archive

[Thomas Nixdorf]

Rare original release australian 1-Sheet from "Dr. No"

Hmmm.  The colours there all look to be slightly jazzed up over the original.

If it weren't for the shouty, 'Not Suitable...' bubble, I would Really like this.  As it is, I just really like this...

Thomas, correct me if I'm wrong but the Australian posters are all stone litho's, even into the 1960's, which accounts for the posters looking similar to regular American counterparts, but not really. Photo lithography came in later. All the early Connery Bonds are stone litho, even YOLT, I think. OHMSS onward were photo litho's.

I think you just gave Simon an idea.....

I would need some advice on this poster.

It is 22" x 28" and I think it is the "lobby card" as shown in the UK campaign book..

Thoughts ?

[Simes]

Good grief.  I really have no idea.

I saw in all the Campaign Books the advertising of the 22x28 lobby cards but have never come across anything resembling them - ever.

I daresay you are right.  An amazing find, to be sure.

Seeing all these various items from your BOND collection are great, Thomas.

Thanks for sharing the images of everything, so far.

And this Spanish WC is really cool, too.

Thomas, thanks for posting some of the goodies from your vault. Your book is still among the best poster books made for the Bond's. Have you ever contemplated printing an updated edition? I know there is a market for it, since you have posters and original art that has never been printed in book form anywhere.

Have you seen, read, come across the book that was produced for the Bond poster exhibition in Germany...  Museum Folkwang.

I got a copy from Peter Lorenz, he of the Illustrated Bond blog.  This book is sublime.  Full of goodness.  It is a soon to be long held position of mine to be upset I never travelled to visit.

I've seen the cover, seen it offered on the net and the price for it went through the roof, just like the Japanese Viva OO7 book. Since it's a museum catalog not easily available to the public, I don't really count it. I had an order for it at Amazon for 2+ years and they finally said it wasn't available. I know a former collector on this side of the pond (Firuta) had 2 of them and they went to Heritage along with everything else.
