Seller's Description

Rare Original British 30 inch x 40 inch Quad Poster for the 1951 Harry Watt Ealing Adventure WHERE NO VULTURES FLY starring Anthony Steel, Dinah Sheridan, Harold Warrender, Meredith Edwards, Orlando Martins, William Simons and Phillip Birkinshaw.

Film about the exploits of the warden of Mount Kilimanjaro Game Reserve.

The poster art is by John Minton.
”Minton was born in Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire on 25th December 1917. He was educated at Northcliff House, Sussex and at Reading School and then studied art at St John's Wood School of Art from 1935 to 1938. From 1943 to 1946 Minton taught illustration at the Camberwell College of Arts, and from 1946 to 1948 he was in charge of drawing and illustration at the Central School of Art. Minton's output was considerable. Between 1945 and 1956 he had seven solo exhibitions at the Lefevre gallery. He designed textiles and wallpapers; he produced posters for London Transport and Ealing Studios; and he was highly regarded as a portrait painter. He painted scenes of Britain, from rural beauty to urban decay, and travelled overseas, producing scenes of the West Indies, Corsica and Morocco.
Although Minton was respected both by the conservative Royal Academy and the modernist London Group, he was out of sympathy with the abstract painting that began to prevail during the 1950s, and he felt increasingly out of touch with current fashion. He suffered extreme mood swings and became dependent on alcohol. He took his own life in 1957 at his London home, taking an overdose of sleeping tablets.”

Printed by W.E. Berry Ltd., Bradford

The poster is in very good folded condition with a few minor edge tears and corner pinholes.
