British Cinema
(116)
British movie posters are celebrated for their stunning artwork and unique typography. Legendary British poster artists include Tom Chantrell, Brian Bysouth, Eric Pulford and Jock Hinchliffe.
Vintage British cinema posters encapsulate the breadth of one of the worlds most celebrated and oldest national cinemas. Indigenous treasures range from the gothic excesses of Hammer Studios to the comedy gems of Ealing, the epic vision of David Lean to the alchemy of Powell & Pressburger.
A British movie poster comes in several distinct formats. The most popular of these include the Quad (measuring 30 x 40 inches), One Sheet (27 x 40 inches) and Double Crown (20 x 30 inches).
British ‘front of house’ lobby cards are highly distinctive from their American counterparts due to their compact size (10 x 8 inches) as well as their eclectic choice of visuals.
Here at Silver Screen Originals we provide a trove of original vintage movie posters and lobby cards from every aspect of this great national cinema of hope and glory.
