Re: [MOPO] Help please with LOLITA French 1pGreetings from France, Definitely 99.9% of those large 47x63in “Lolita” are repros printed in the 80’s with the original plates, and printed in litho, it is why they are so great quality.
I came across an original folded copy a couple months ago. Here are the links to check this original copy before and after linenbacking : Folded : http://dominiquebesson.com/lolita-originale-pliee.jpg Linen : http://dominiquebesson.com/lolita-originale-linen.jpg Hope this could help you Sincerely Dominique BESSON DOMINIQUE BESSON AFFICHES 7 rue Choron 75009 Paris France Phone : 33.613.451.355 http://www.dominiquebesson.com http://www.mondographics.net http://www.affichesdecinema.com http://www.chagall-posters.net From: Info Movie Poster Art Gallery Sent: Friday, May 12, 2017 12:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Help please with LOLITA French 1p “I thought the repros were not litho printed? “ I’m sure they were, hence all the problems, finding their way into Christies etc..

Apart from anything else, they just looked far too new. Rather alarming that they were proper lithos. True or not, there were stories about the original plates being rediscovered enabling them to be printed. I personally only ever saw one genuine vintage original, and it was like night and day, with the typical aging (as others have referred to) of French paper from that time, especially along the folds. However, you do occasionally come across even French white paper from that period that hasnâ•˙t aged that much - very recently saw a French Grande Le Conformiste where this was the case, although that did have some ink transfer marks from the black where it had been folded.
