Rare Chantrell Hammer Prototype Poster Discovered
Tom Chantrell is regarded as one of the foremost
British cinema poster artists of the 20th century. As such, there is likely to be great interest
in an early prototype poster he produced for the classic 1966 Hammer film “One
Million Years BC†which has just been listed on the Chantrell archive website
www.chantrellposter.com Although Hammer
Studios often used Chantrell artwork in their pitches for finance, this is a
rare example of a poster featuring prototype artwork, being printed, not for
advertising to the public but to be used as a prop in a financing presentation.
