Original U.S. One-Sheet Poster (27x41) Fine Plus to Very Fine Linen-Backed

Original Universal Pictures One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Steven Spielberg epic shark thriller, JAWS (1975) starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss. This film was a box office phenomenon, grossing more that half a billion dollars and becoming the highest grossing movie until STAR WARS took the lead two years later. The movie established Spielberg as a filmmaker of first rank and helped the careers of all the major actors. The mechanical shark cost more that a quarter million dollars to create and can be seen today on Universal's studio tour. The poster art is sensational, and was used by Universal in a carefully planned advertising campaign to attract huge audiences by the time the movie opened. The illustration and design of this poster is by Roger Kastel and Tony Seiniger. It's no exaggeration to say that this poster may be the most famous movie poster in the world. And that's a big assertion. Astounding demand for the poster has assured that the poster performs well at auction and retail. This poster was in very acceptable, very good condition. We had the poster linen backed to correct some small issues and to be ready to frame. We have graded the poster as fine plus. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees this poster to be authentic.
