About the Item

Original British photographic production still for The Tales of Hoffmann 1951. This British fantasy opera was written, produced and directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. The film is an adaptation of the opera of the same name by Jacques Offenbach. The film stars Robert Rounseville, Moira Shearer, Robert Helpmann, Léonide Massine, Pamela Brown, Ludmilla Tchérina and Ann Ayars. The life and three great loves of a poet are depicted in a series of flashbacks, showing the difficulties encountered by the poet in his aspiration to seek love, whilst committed to his work. Although all three romances fail, the artist is able to channel his painful emotions into his art. There is a perspex back on the frame showing the details written on the back of the piece. This piece is conservation framed in a Sapele wood frame with acid free card mounts and UV plexiglass. The size given is before framing. This piece would be shipped boxed and sent by Federal Express.
