Voyage to the Edge of the World Vintage Movie Poster One Sheet, 1976

Starring Jacques-Yves Cousteau, and Philiipe Cousteau

If you have the space, here is a spectacular vintage poster art masterpiece from my personal collection. Never offered before,  as my intention was never to sell it but eventually find a space large enough to display it.   

With stunning sweeping visuals — icy landscapes, towering glaciers, giant sea life, hot air balloons, submarines this breath-taking beauty would probably become your home’s attention stealer!

SIZE:  27x41"

In December 1972 The Cousteau Society sets out on a four-months expedition through Antarctica. The expedition is supported by Monaco's Oceanographic Museum and the La Rochelle Natural History Museum, the latter represented on board by Raymond Duguy (1927 - 2012), its director at the time.

Divers and scientists of the expedition observe the fauna and the ice formations of the frozen continent. Footage is filmed on board the Calypso but also on land (for example at Deception Island), underwater, over sea ice or from the air, by means of a hot air balloon and a helicopter. Voyage to the Edge of the World was the first film to show underwater footage taken from the submerged inside of glaciers or icebergs. It also was the first film to show high depth footage in Antarctic waters (thanks to the diving saucer SP-350 Denise).

Paleontologist Michel Laval, Calypso's Chief Mate, died on Deception Island, 29 December 1972, when he was struck by the tail propeller of the helicopter of the expedition.
