Australian One Sheet movie posters are 27" x 40" not 27" x 41" like their American counter parts and can vary an inch in length dependent on the printers used to produce them. Modern American posters are now also 27" x 40" but modern posters can also vary by ½" to 1" dependent on the printer used. Australian printers were under licence to produce the posters as they saw fit for Australian audiences and many artists did different variations to the American one-sheets.

The artists would generally use US poster art or press book images for their inspiration and they would either trace or use their own imagination or a combination of both to come up with a new design for the poster. Many vintage one-sheet posters were usually produced using the stone litho process which produced rich deep colours but were only printed in limited quantities. It is believed that as few as 200 one sheets were printed for films up to 1950. This explains the rarity of the Australian one sheet movie posters. The Australian one-sheet movie posters used to be issued folded but now most modern posters are issued rolled and many come directly from the distributors in America as the American one-sheets are also now 27" 40" but can vary slightly in length size dependent on the distributor and printer used.

Many are now also double-sided for use in light boxes. More about Australian Movie Posters. Many of the older Australian movie posters used the hand lithograph process resulting in a rich texture of artwork with subtle toning that was often unique to Australia. The artists would generally use US poster art or press book images for their inspiration and they would either trace or use their own imagination or a combination of both to come up with a design for the poster.

The daybill sizes varied considerably from 13" x 30" from the 40s to the mid-60s to 13" x 26" in the 80s. The Australian one-sheets were normally 27" x 40" as compared to the US 27" x 41" one-sheet. Certain firms seem to predominate during certain periods, such as W. Smith of Sydney during the 1940s and 1950s. Several other printers like F.

(litho) Sydney, Royelltone Prints Pty. Printed older posters but W. Smith and Robert Burton produced most. S started producing movie posters and there is an overlap where both Robert Burton and M. S printed some of the same original posters.

Other printers like Brown Prior Anderson in Burwood, Victoria, Australia, also printed some of the B grade and R rated Australian posters and, some of the film distributors like Roadshow produced their own posters. It is important to note that daybills for the original release of a film often included a lesser duotone and black and white style.

In many cases these are mistakenly referred to as copies or later reissues but they were generally released at the same time the full colour versions were issued so are also originals. There is an option to include a signature requirement at your end but is extra.
