About This Item
Stockholm: Svensk Filma, 1987. No Binding. Fine. A quite sensational item of movie memorabilia! A cinema poster or flyer for the 1980's re-screening in Stockholm, Sweden, of Ingmar Bergman's 1949 movie "Törst" (The Thirst). The poster has been inscribed, signed and dated by Ingmar Bergman. Professionally framed by the original recipient and is under glass. The actual poster or flyer is presumably a reproduction of the original poster for the re-screening event. The frame measures approximately 16" x 12.25" and the poster will, thus, be very slightly smaller. To the verso of the frame there is a printed sticker from the framers stating (in Swedish) - "The artwork is insulated with cardboard. 100% cotton" (Google translate). I interpret this to mean that it is cotton-backed. The inscription is located below the final titles and is in blue ink. It reads, "Till TAPANI, MED HJÄRTLIG HÄLSNING OCH TACK FRÄN INGMAR BERGMAN, 10.3.87" (To Tapani with warm greetings and thanks from Ingmar Bergman). Condition: The frame is a fairly simple wooden (gilt) example with glass. There are chips to the gilt at the corners and a fairly larger one to the bottom edge near middle. At the (blank) verso of the mounting there are some marks - these do not show through on the image. I have not photographed the entire verso because at the top the recipient's full name is written in pencil. The poster itself has not been examined under frame but appears spotless. There are a couple of minor ripples to the paper at the top edge, otherwise looks Fine. Provenance: The original recipient's full name is recorded at the verso. It is likely to be a Finnish actor active at the time but not incontrovertibly so. A fantastic item of movie memorabilia from the director lauded by - amongst others - Martin Scorcese and Woody Allen as the greatest in cinema history.
