Depicted here is a collage of all your favorite Star Wars characters from Epsiodes IV-VI.Artist: Tom Chantrell Medium: Movie poster print Size of Image: 11" x 14 1/8" Publication: Classico San Francisco Date: 1993 Condition: Excellent Biography(1916-2001) Starting in 1933 at Allardyce Palmer who had accounts with Warner Brothers and 20th Century Fox. In 1938 he designed his first film poster The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse. He continued with posters until World War II service with the Royal Engineers bomb disposal units. After demobilisation he returned to Allardyce Palmer eventually doing over 7,000 film posters. Chantrell did not see the films he drew for; he would receive a plot line and a handful of stills and use friends and family for poses. Examples of this were taking photographs of himself trying to look like a vampire for Dracula Has Risen from the Grave and his wife Shirley held a plastic sword in the back garden to pose for Princess Leia on the original Star Wars poster. Chantrell's posters were often produced prior to the film being made in order to raise money from investors.Information retrieved from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Chantrell
