Just time today to share this James Bond drawing from legendary caricaturist Al Hirschfeld! Not sure where this appeared originally but it was done to commemorate a scene in 1962's DR NO, the first Sean Connery Bond, and, as such, features a likeness of Ursula Andress's Honeychile Wilder (redubbed "Honey Ryder" for the film actually), also! I clipped it from, I believe, an old CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN issue. Looks like no numbered "Nina"'s. Here's a link to the late artist's official site: http://www.alhirschfeld.com/index2.html.
sweet. I love Hirschfeld. for many many years, I had a clipping of one of his Buster Keaton's on my wall. never seen that one before, though. very sweet. cheers.
ReplyDeleteThis may be stretching it, but I think there's a "nina" in the lower right corner, on the henchman's pants leg right above Hirschfeld's signature.
ReplyDeleteI believe this was done by Hirschfeld for the DR. NO pressbook.
ReplyDeleteMemory fades. But I probably clipped it right out of a DR. NO pressbook and pasted it into the CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN layouts.
Wonder how many of these 1960s movie pressbooks he did? The only other one I know of was the Elvis movie FOLLOW THAT DREAM (1962).
