Utilizing Georges Melies' original 1902 concept artwork for the film, this poster recreation is a celebratory but reasonably accurate recreation of the iamgined original advertisement graphic for this landmark film, albeit in English text instead of French.
To date, no original posters for this film are known extant, however, one of the biggest thrills experienced by a member of the contemporary collaborative, the Everclever Art Collective, was his 1991 viewing of the original sepia concept watercolor for this milestone and supremely important cinematic masterpiece at Paris's Musée du Cinéma Henri-Langlois (a/k/a Musée de la Cinémathèque) prior to a 1997 fire which caused evacuation, closure, and then, thankfully, relocation of its collection.
