The artwork on this piece was chosen for the front cover of the book 'The Official 007 Co🧸llection James Bond Movie Posters', which features film posters from the collection of Eon Productions.


Following the success of Dr. No, Eon Production's budget for this second Bond film was dramatically increased. This film was also directed by Terence Young, and again stars Sean Connery as Bond.
