Mine has the white borders like the others apologies for referencing the wrong photo but it's single sided on thicker paper, and run your hand over the printed parts you can feel it

. I'll try and post a photo later

I'm sure it's legit - if not, there'd be more of them floating around.

It sounds like a similar situation to the La Boca Black Swan one sheet set - they had a DS set on glossy paper and a SS set on thicker paper stock.

I'm sure there's only one printing - I've never seen a double-sided one - also, like Tob says, it's unlikely to have been repro'd.

Thanks for clarifying, Mark. I mistakenly assumed it was DS for some reason.

Ah! Maybe I also saw one so had it in my mind. Thanks T.

So maybe like Black Swan by same artist with the DS run and the SS run on thicker stock?

,,,,, I've never seen a double-sided one,,,,,,,

Mark

I meant to say I’ve never seen a single-sided one - my La Boca is DS as well - so Tob’s theory may well be correct. My B/W quad and UK “staircase” one sheet are both SS.

I got some more info on my single sided quad from a dealer Mark Hockman who I contacted as he had sold a DS copy. He said my one

came from the Curzon Cinema in Mayfair. This is absolutely genuine and as far as I know the rarest of the La Boca print run as these were only printed like this for the Curzon.

He guessed around 20 to 30 just for the Curzon.

Sounds like that is probably right. I seen one before like that with the black background which a friend had adn that came from a Curzon. You're a luck man with one of these! Congrats1

That would mean there are 3 versions of the La Boca poster.

This is getting more mysterious by the day. Maybe someone should contact la Boca to get the full story.
