While the iconic artwork for Jaws by Roger Kastel is terrifying in its own right, this unattributed artwork for the Indian poster campaign certainly kicks it up a notch. The blood-drenched jaws of the shark below a crowd of panicking bathers show far more gore than perhaps the censors in other countries were willing to allow. Due to the thinness of the paper used for most Indian posters, many don't survive long after being on display, making them true collector pieces. This example is presented in three sections.

Fair

Folded and in three section with good colours but a lot of general wear. A large tear in each of the two upper sections and some paper loss and staining on the bottom section. A perfect candidate for restoration.
