The African Queen (1951) - FRAMED
Original UK Front-of-House Card
A rare original 1951 UK front of house card for The African Queen, John Huston’s beloved adventure classic starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. These cards were displayed in cinema lobbies at the time of release to entice audiences with key scenes from the film, and never intended to survive beyond the film’s run.
This particular card captures Bogart and Hepburn battling the wild rapids aboard their battered vessel, one of the film’s most thrilling sequences.
The African Queen is a landmark in cinema history as the film that earned Bogart his only Academy Award, and one that redefined adventure romance on screen. Its combination of star power, African location shooting, and Huston’s deft direction made it an instant classic. Surviving promotional material from its original UK release is highly sought after, making this a wonderful piece of mid-century cinema history.
