Details
Description
A French movie poster for the film King Kong.
- Roland Coudon (French, 1903-1954).
- Universal Pictures.
- Grande Style A poster.
- Linen backed.
- This work is presented unframed.
Created for the movie’s first release in France, it is one of only two poster styles produced for the Grande format for that debut. What truly sets this poster apart is its unique design: instead of depicting the more familiar Empire State Building scene, Coudon’s artwork captures the dramatic sacrifice moment on Skull Island, with Kong illuminated by torches as he is introduced to the audience.
Produced as a stone lithograph, this poster is widely regarded as one of the finest images created for King Kong, skillfully conveying the intense emotions of fear and awe central to the film. Due to its extreme rarity, with very few surviving examples known to exist, this poster is an invaluable treasure for serious collectors and film historians alike.
More than just a promotional item, the French Grande Style A King Kong poster is a stunning artefact of cinematic history, capturing the raw power and mystique that have made the film an enduring classic.
