VALLEY OF GWANGI, THE (1969) - Ray Harryhausen Hand-Drawn Poster Concept
A hand-drawn poster design from Jim O'Connolly's sci-fi Western The Valley of Gwangi. This image shows the T-rex being lassoed, along with large title text.

Harryhausen would often create an idea for a movie poster as part of his process; it helped him refine the essence of his films. The sketch is drawn in pencil on white paper and is a very basic rendering of the image - likely the very first iteration of the design as part of his three-stage conceptualisation process. The paper is roughly cut along one side. Otherwise, the artwork remains in very good condition. Dimensions: 40 cm x 50 cm (15 3/4'' x 19 3/4'')
