Original Unused Poster Art Concepts For Steven Spielberg's JAWS
Here are a couple of original unused poster art concepts that were created for Steven Spielberg’s classic film Jaws. I couldn’t find who the artist was behind them, but at an auction, were they sold for $3,750, it’s said the they were most likley created by a in-house studio artist while Universal was working on the marketing for the film.
The descirption reads:
"Universal, c.1975. An extremely rare set of (7) printed poster concepts for "Jaws". As one of the most recognizable poster images of all time, the final "Jaws" poster by Roger Kastel has become a cinematic and pop culture icon.
“These alternative poster concepts represent an incredible, seldom seen look at the development artwork of this classic film. These glossy prints are hand-lettered in ink along the margins as A-E, with an additional b-1 and another image that is unmarked.
“Throughout the images, different font choices and imagery of the shark are used. The prints measure 11.25"x14" each and the set is in overall good condition with some surface wear and spots small spots of yellowing from use and age."
