JAWS (1975) - Hand-Numbered Limited Edition Screen Print by Laurent Durieux, 2013 - A highly sought-after limited edition alternative movie poster created by artist Laurent Durieux for Steven Spielberg's thriller Jaws. Durieux's unique style is instantly identifiable, with his creations among the most desirable artworks in the alternative movie poster market. This design is one of those most coveted by collectors. It was released in 2013 through Mondo and even attracted the attention of Spielberg himself, who allegedly ordered 25 copies to give to close friends and family.Durieux created this image as a contrast to Roger Kastel's iconic shark design for the original marketing campaign. The postcard-esque scene appears idyllic, yet the black panel on the beach umbrella creates a feeling of unease. Printed by DL Screenprinting, this example is hand-numbered #54/525.

To include: ALS on King's College Cambridge letterhead, complete with envelope addressed to Routledge at Eton College, postmarked 23 November 1961 [the year in which Forster was named a Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature], "Dear Norman, I greatly enjoyed seeing you, especially on our drive. We seem to look at the future through much the same spectacles. I wish they were rosier. I have made friends who couldn't be better and seem likely to outlive me, and I have never invested too deeply in world-peace, and so far so good. But what I didn't expect and what does get me down is the reinvention of the earth's lovely surface which will extend to its heights and its depths as soon as Work Work Work gets going on them...With love, Morgan." An undated postcard depicting a horse & rider beneath a rainbow, addressed to Routledge at "K.C.C." [King's College Cambridge], "Please will you pick up my letters at the Porter's Lodge tomorrow morning. Just a faint possibility of chicken and champagne at Journey's End, and if we missed it through lack of direction - how tragic! Am taking some slabs chocolate. EMF, Thursday." Postcard, 30 October 1961, addressed to Routledge at Eton College, "Can you come to La Traviata with me at the Guildhall on Sunday Nov 5 at 2.30 - excellent seats, front row of Dress Circle?...With love, M." ALS on King's College Cambridge letterhead, 26 January 1953, humorously explaining how feigning illness will influence his social life, "Dear Norman, If I am ill, I should like to lunch with you on Friday very much. If I am well, I ought to be at the B.B.C. 4.0. [4pm] and don't think I can lunch. Let us contact on the Thursday, and settle whether I am ill or not. Friday evening I (should) go to the concert performances of 'Nelson' in London (R.B.A. Gallery, 7.30). I have another ticket, which you could in any case have if you wished. Morgan." Undated ALS, headed "Coventry" [Forster spent his final years living with Bob & May Buckingham at their home in Coventry], "Dear Norman, How sweet of you and what sharp ears! I shall keep the week of the 22-27th April free and nearer the time you shall find the days in it you prefer. What I most have in mind is the Spire of Louth, Boston Stump...and some 'untouched' spots I was once taken to by Kenneth, now probably much touched...Love from Morgan, and May emphatically adds much love, Bob is out." King's College Cambridge notecard, postmarked 2 November 1959, addressed to Routledge at Eton College, "Alas I am on the rush too and if not lunching with the Rector of College on the 7th shall be hobnobbing with Quasimodo." Postcard after Watteau, 17 February 1960, composed in a whirling shape, "Morgan [referring to himself in the third person], who will regrettably be detained here on the 27th, but is greatly attracted by the prospect of the F. B., as would William Plomer [novelist and early editor of Ian Fleming] be if he knew of it. Do tell him and do tell me, so that if by any chance I...[descends into a vortex of dashes]." A steel-engraved topographical view of Glastonbury Tor, folded to form a card, "What have we here but Christmas [ruled through and amended to "New Year"], Greetings from Morgan to Norman, 1954 [amended to 1955]." A postcard after Millet, postmarked 17 April 1960, in which Forster gradually increases the size of his inscription and jokingly says "must enlarge my handwriting [if] I am to make any impression." ALS from Tim Leggatt [author of "Connecting with E. M. Forster: A Memoir"], King's College Cambridge letterhead, 28th May, one side conveying the dictated words of Forster, "Dear Norman, Here I am writing, but whose is the handwriting? Wait, and perhaps you will see. What I have to say is that I am very much better, expect to be discharged from this hospital and to go to Coventry quite soon...", signed in Forster's own hand, "Morgan", the other side from Leggatt himself. ALS on King's College Cambridge letterhead, 10 April 1960, "Dear Norman, Thank you for your very nice letter and for the photograph which William Plomer shall see next week...I sympathise with the boys wanting proper scenery. 'We have no resources but our genius' is sometimes too readily paraded...Yours affectionately, Morgan." Other letters & cards of a similar nature, mostly arranging lunches and social outings. ALS from Bob Buckingham, 9 July 1969, "Dear Norman...We brought Morgan here on Sunday & apart from a swollen ankle he is reasonably well." ALS from May Buckingham, 3 October 1991, in which she refers to "Morgan" and describes Stephen Spender as one of "the most handsome boys I have ever known".
