More about this item:
This is a large photostat image (16"x 23") of Chantrell's pre-production artwork for the 1968 Hammer adventure, "The Lost Continent". In typically flamboyant form, Chantrell depicts a bare-breasted blonde caught in the tentacles of a giant squid. The extent of the written synopsis on the piece (clearly too much for an intended poster) suggests that this was another piece specially commissioned by Hammer in order to secure funding for the venture ie, to be used as an aid in marketing pitches to studio money-men. For purposes of comparison we show also the artwork & printed Quad poster for the finished film. There is a single vertical fold-line, pin-holes to corners & a tiny piece of paper loss to bottom left corner.
