Original Asquith, Anthony Movie Posters

Anthony Asquith movie posters span one of British cinema's most accomplished literary adaptation careers — the silent era through the 1960s, celebrated for his skill with literary adaptations and theatrical material.

Asquith's collaborations with playwright Terence Rattigan produced some of British cinema's most sophisticated and emotionally intelligent films. The Winslow Boy (1948), The Browning Version (1951), and The Deep Blue Sea (1955) are works of precise emotional observation, their theatrical materials reflecting the refinement of British studio graphic design of the period — understated, class-conscious, typographically elegant. His visual restraint and precision remain a benchmark of quality British studio filmmaking.

His adaptations of literary and theatrical classics — Shaw's Pygmalion (1938, co-directed with Leslie Howard, Oscar-nominated), Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (1952, in glorious Technicolor), and Rattigan's The VIPs (1963), with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor — span the full range of British prestige filmmaking across three decades. The theatrical materials from these productions represent British film advertising at its most polished. Original British theatrical paper from his Rattigan adaptations is now seldom found in fine condition.

Find original theatrical prints from across his distinguished British filmography — spanning late silent films of the 1920s through the prestige productions of the early 1960s, encompassing Pygmalion, The Importance of Being Earnest, and The VIPs among British cinema's most accomplished studio achievements.
