£400.00

This striking vintage Polish poster, created in 1967 by Janusz Rapnicki, showcases the distinctive style of the Polish School of Posters. It was designed to promote the Polish release of the Japanese film ‘Rodan-Ptak Śmierci’ (Rodan), directed by Ishiro Honda, which originally premiered in 1956. The poster captures the dramatic and intense spirit of the film through bold colors and dynamic composition, reflecting the unique artistic approach of Polish designers during the Communist era. This piece is a powerful example of how international cinema was introduced and reinterpreted visually in Poland during that period, combining Eastern cinematic themes with Polish graphic artistry.

BUYING A VINTAGE POSTER

All of our vintage Polish posters are lovingly sourced from Poland and were the original editions commissioned by the Communist State to promote cultural events. Polish posters were printed in strictly limited runs to be displayed in town centres, theatres and cinemas - so any which survive have been lovingly rescued along the way.

For us, nothing comes close to the soulful charm of vintage Polish posters; the colours, the offset lithography, the matt paper. But please note, due to their age, many do bear marks of time.

We always do our best to describe any flaws, but if you have any questions at all about this vintage poster then please do get in touch and we’ll be happy to send you more info.
