THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO

Italian Foglios (2) (19.5" x 27.5")
Fine- Folded; Artwork by Anselmo Ballester
Excelsa Film, 1945

This beautiful pair of original Italian posters from Alexandre Dumas' classic novel were designed by Anselmo Ballester, arguably the most important of the Italian poster artists. The poster depicting beautiful Michele Alfa is folded and exhibits border pinholes, creases, corner chips, staining and pieces of clear tape. There is some separation along the center fold and the image area is very clean. This poster features rich, bold colors along with a beautiful portrait of the attractive French leading lady. The second poster is folded and exhibits a lesser amount of border pinholes, tears, staining and chipping with a clean image area. It isn't often to be able to acquire both styles of posters by the same artist and from the same film and these make an outstanding pair to proudly display.
