Description
Original U.S. one-sheet Style C poster for Doctor Zhivago (1965), directed by David Lean and starring Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Geraldine Chaplin, Rod Steiger, Alec Guinness, and Tom Courtenay. Artwork by Maciek Piotrowski. This piece is not a reproduction.
Adapted from Boris Pasternak’s novel, Doctor Zhivago stands as one of the most consequential epic productions of 1960s cinema, noted for its scale, visual composition, and enduring critical and cultural reception. The film’s narrative, set against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution, contributed to its international significance and continued relevance within the historical drama genre.
The Style C one sheet presents a distinct illustrated approach, incorporating multiple character studies within a structured layout that reflects mid-century poster design strategies for prestige productions. Piotrowski’s composition emphasizes portraiture and narrative fragmentation, aligning with contemporary efforts to convey both spectacle and psychological depth in a single-sheet format.
Lithograph on paper, linen-backed for preservation and stability. The poster measures approximately 27 x 41 inches and presents in very fine condition, with only minimal touch-up to original fold lines, consistent with standard theatrical issue materials of the period.
