Such is the popularity of Vintage posters – and especially those of the classic James Bond 007 films of the 1960s – that hammer prices at auction regularly reach five figures now. 

Ewbank’s has taken more than £20,000 for original Dr No (1962) British Quad, 30 x 40in posters more than once before and another leads the highlights in this sale, albeit with a slightly more conservative guide of £12,000-18,000. 

Another, for the 1963 film From Russia With Love, comes with the same estimate, while a Style A design British Quad for Goldfinger (1964) film poster, with artwork by Robert Brownjohn, is expected to sell for £2,000-4,000. 

Horror film posters from the likes of Hammer also have a very strong following. Here a linen-backed British Quad for the 1967 film Frankenstein Created Woman, directed by Terence Fisher and starring Peter Cushing, with artwork by the leading talent of Tom Chantrell, should sell for £2,500-3,500. 

The Plague of The Zombies (1966) has a particularly striking design for its linen-backed British Quad. The Hammer Film Production design is pitched at £1,500-2,500. 

One of the most celebrated roles in horror film history is that of Christopher Lee’s Dracula. His first appearance was in the 1958 film Dracula, retitled Horror of Dracula in the United States, a title carried over to the French release a year later. A linen-backed Grande film poster (47 x 63 inches) for the French release in 1959 of the Hammer classic, with artwork by Guy Gerard Noel, is expected to fetch £1,500-2,500. 

Very much a film of its time, the erotic romantic drama Girl on a Motorcycle (1968) starred Marianne Faithfull and Alain Delon in a tale of a woman who leaves her husband to take off on her motorcycle to meet her lover. An iconic film released as Naked Under Leather in the United States, where it was the first feature to attract an X rating, it remains a cultural phenomenon today.  

A Linen-back British Quad for the film offered here has an estimate of £1,500-2,500.
