Boccaccio 70 (1962), British Quad, 40 x 30 inches, bi-folded Director Vittorio De Sica, Federico Fellini, Mario Monicelli, Luchino Visconti Stars Sophia Loren, Romy Schneider, Anita Ekberg Provenance The Jack Hubbard artwork poster Archive. Jack Hubbard (1913 1985) was a British poster artist who worked from the 1950s to the 1980s producing artwork for 20th Century Fox, Gala, Eros, Mondial, New Realm, British Lion and Embassy. He started his career as a cartographer in the Royal Artillery, and was stationed in India where he achieved the rank of Conductor, a position held by a very small handful of selected Warrant Officers Class 1. After the war, he began painting for the British Studios, predominantly 20th Century Fox, but was not allowed to sign his work as he was freelance. He worked on almost every major Fox release for over 25 years. Jack would journey into Londons Soho Square on a Monday to pick up the film work folder which had stills, synopsis or a story description and other information about the film, and he had to return to the Fox offices on Thursday with usually 3 versions of a poster. Changes to the poster would be made during a meeting to be green lit by the studios publicity manager. Jack came up with the CinemaScope logo which became a registered trademark for Fox. This poster was part of his personal collection of printed works which he worked on. They all came to him direct from the printers and the quads and double crowns were all bi-folded. Condition Report: Excellent condition, tiny edge creasing, light scuffing to reverse

A Sèvres plate with cameo centre, circa 1808Decorated with a plain red border outlined in gilding, the centre with a simple gold band enclosing a finely painted cameo en grisaille of Hera 23.6cm diam., M.Imp.le de Sevres 8 in red enamel to the base, incised marks and L. in red script (minor rubbing to gilding)Footnotes:The source for the many of the cameos painted on pieces from Sèvres services is the three-volume work Iconographique Grec (1811) by Ennio-Quirino Visconti, keeper of antiquities at the Louvre, which publication was commissioned by Napoleon himself (see: Wittwer Raffinesse & Eleganz (2007), p. 158f.).Although not know if this plate was a sample plate for a larger service or indeed a one-off commission, it bears resemblance to the service given to the King of Württemberg by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1809. The King had remarked favourably about a service with cameo decoration he saw at the factory on his earlier visit to Paris, and it was added to the list of diplomatic gifts to the Württemberg Court; see C. Leprince, Napoléon I & Sèvres (2016), cat.no.128.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
