My Fair Lady (1964)
An original 1974 NBC Television Black and White Press Photo for My Fair Lady, unframed, with its typed NBC caption on the back.
Bob Peak's celebrated poster artwork of Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison as Eliza Doolittle and Professor Higgins, issued by NBC when the film was broadcast over two nights in December 1974.
Peak's sketchy, colour-splashed design is one of the most recognisable film posters of the 1960s, and it helped make him the most sought-after illustrator in Hollywood. The film itself won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Harrison, though Hepburn's songs were famously dubbed by Marni Nixon. NBC sent this photo to newspapers for their television listings, from the days when a big film on network television was an event the whole country planned its evening around.
