Artwork based on the British Trade Advertisement by Marc Stone (1909 - 1991). Marcus Stone was born in Marylebone, London, and educated at the Slade School of Art. In the 1930s he was designing posters for Gaumont British Film Studios including “The Ghoul” (1933), “The Camels Are Coming” (1934) , “A Fire Has Been Arranged” (1935), “Broken Blossoms” (1936) and “His Lordship” (1936). During World War II he worked for the War Office. After the war he returned to film poster work creating such posters as “The Tales of Hoffmann” (1951) for Michael Powell.
He did regular commissioned portraits of the "Man of the Week, Month, Year" for British magazine covers. In addition, he painted sports figures, jockeys in caricature style for the centre pages of a sports illustrated magazine and recruitment posters for the Armed Forces in the early 60s. Ultimately, he claimed "the camera put him out of business”.

The poster is in very good unfolded condition. A grid has been printed on the reverse of the poster which can be seen faintly from the front.
