German lobby cards - called Aushangfotos - for "Im Geheimdienst Ihrer Majestaet" (On Her Majesty's Secret Service).
The first release set consisted of 40 lobby cards. The reissue set of 16 lobby cards featured 3 new photos not used in the original release. I don't own the originals so I'm not sure which ones are which.
It appears that the reissue set did not have the FSK rating stamp and was also smaller in size.

Initially I was not too keen on the Japanese posters as they were photo-montages and not painted. But they grew on me and they are quite fun to imitate. Now that I've done Dr. No I had to add "From Russia With Love" as well.
Check out a new, French website dedicated to James Bond 007 collectibles from France: ASSOCIATION 007 COLLECTORS. Among other things it features rare artwork by Yves Thos. Merci to Frédéric for sharing the images with me.
