Magnum Force (1973)
Original US silver gelatin semi-gloss double-weight photograph, signed by Philippe Halsman
Photographer: Philippe Halsman (1906-1979)

Unframed: 11 x 14 in. (28 x 36 cm)
Framed: 16 1/2 x 19 1/4 in. (42 x 48.9 cm)

Conservation framed with UV plexiglass

There is a window on the back of the frame showing a Philippe Halsman copyright stamp, along with his pencil signature and the wording 'Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry'. A variant of this image was used on two of the US posters.

This is an extremely rare vintage photograph as very few were printed in 1973.

Ted Post who directed the Rawhide television series and the film Hang 'Em High, directed this second film in the Dirty Harry series, where Clint Eastwood plays the unorthodox detective, Harry Callahan.

Excellent condition. There is a very small crease in the bottom left-hand corner.

Material of piece: Paper
