Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

This is an original, linen-backed, one-sheet movie poster from 1981 for Raiders of the Lost Ark starring Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, John Rhys-Davis and Denholm Elliott. Steven Spielberg directed the classic adventure film that began the Indiana Jones franchise. Richard Amsel created the artwork for the poster.

The poster measures 27" x 41" and has been linen-backed for long-term preservation and display. The poster was in good to very good condition prior to restoration with  scattered, faint spots of discoloration on parts of the edges.  It was folded at the time of printing and had creasing and small scuffs on parts of the folds.  The wear is less noticeable after restoration.  Linen-backed posters are stored flat and will be rolled for shipping in a rigid, tube mailer.

Please look closely at the photos (this is the exact poster you are buying).  It is not cropped or a stock image. The black circles in the corners of the poster are magnets and not pins.

This rare and collectible poster, printed in 1981 to promote the initial, theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark, is not a reproduction or a reprint.
