Yikes, this is quite shocking. I've been wondering about this dealer for a while, as they seemed to spring up out of nowhere. My guess would be that they are inexperienced and didn't recognise that their poster was a repro until you pointed it out. Regardless, that does not excuse their using - and doctoring - your image and passing it off as their own!
In fact, I've just had a closer look at their listings and I think they may be using some of my images too. Check this Hustler 1sh - I know because mine had a green printing smudge in the middle of the cue stick, which I have not seen on other copies. Also, their description says theirs is folded, whereas the image is clearly backed. https://printedoriginals.com/products/the-hustler https://www.rockpaperfilm.com/all-posters/paul-newman-hustler-one-sheet-1964/ Thanks for bringing this to my attention - will keep an eye on their site from now on. I hope nothing more sinister is going on than breach of copyright.
