Great minds, Jason.

I did the same thing.  ;)







So I got a reply from the Dracula seller. He wrote:

"Hi Jeff.

Thanks so much for your patience!

After looking very closely at the fold line on the front, I would say that it has been touched up. By shining very bright light onto it, you see a difference in the reflections, with the touched up line being a little dull- but a pretty subtle difference under normal light! I would thereof speculate that this must have been done years ago, with the paper developing some patina over it?! Color used seems to have spread out a bit on the front- probably a soluble colorant-, but absolutely no bleeding through in the lower left quadrant of the folded out poster to be found verso.
But still, a very unusual piece of Dracula movie memorabilia with the geometric alien-like green Dracula on the inside, really reminding me more of Nosferatu, than the Dracula "without teeth" in this movie...
Let me know, if I can be of any additional help!"


So it sounds like it had some kind of touch up, maybe  number of years, ago. And if water soluble, like the seller speculates, then not a totally bad thing, as any restorer might also have touched up that fold line, had there been ink breaks or small holes or tears. The good thing too, no bleed thru to the verso, so that's good. That re-touching might also be able to be removed, if desired, too.

And that -- is the rest of the story.  :)

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CLOCKWORK-ORANGE-Very-Rare-Original-Vintage-1970s-Advance-OS-Movie-Poster-/321554449346?pt=AU_Movie_Memorabilia&hash=item4ade2383c2



Description & Condition: You are bidding on a 1971 rare and hard-to-find rolled Australian advance one-sheet poster with a light scratch lower left-hand-side border edge and a couple of minor scuffs along the bottom edge (see photos of actual poster) but otherwise in fine to very fine condition. This is the very rare advance sheet with the nude girls to the right side of Malcolm McDowell’s head. The regular advance sheet had those nude images blacked out. This is not a reproduction or reprint poster, it is a genuine original vintage 1971 Australian theatre release colour one-sheet poster distributed by Warner Brothers and dated ©1971 bottom right corner of the poster.

Its available on Amazon, 27x39.  I message the seller to double check the measurements of his poster, which he states as 27x40

This has been for sale for what seems like forever (had to finally delete it from the watch list because I was starting to fall victim to the zombie eyes)

And that -- is the rest of the story.  :)



Not quite the rest.. the seller followed up with one last comment, as he checked the solubility of the black that was used to touch the fold up. He wrote:

"The colour seems to come off with water- I tried to carefully dab it off, in one tiny area, with a slightly wetted, white cloth and it tainted black. Same procedure applied to a different black spot situated off the fold line: no marking off to be observed.

I guess that somebody with a hand for paper restoration could get it back into its original condition without going through too much trouble."


So it sounds like a water color pencil or wash of some kind was used to touch up that crease. Good to know, on the chance any new owner might want that touch up removed.  thumbsup.gif

This Thunderball quad is actually pretty great. The tape doesn't scare me away at all, but it is overpriced. Next to no paper loss and vivid/saturated colors are all there...the biggies.

All I could find was a brief mention during our discussion of the UK Son of Frank... these two comments were buried in large emails:

Oct. 11th 2012 Paul: If you are still looking for Connery Bond stuff, I may have a Thunderball, and You only live twice style C, lead....?
Oct. 11th 2012 Matt: And definitely let me know about the Bond quads... I'm missing nearly all of the Connerys.

As far as I can see, you never followed up after that.  Don't worry, I forgive you... you just owe me 300 GBP Thunderball  ;)
