Description
Deep Purple poster from 1985 captures the classic rock band in full mid-80s style, five members lounging against a brick wall in leather jackets, sunglasses, and denim, with the band’s silver-and-purple DP logo and name splashed across the bottom in bold magenta lettering. The photograph, credited to George Bodnar, freezes the group in candid, off-stage attitude rather than a stylized studio shot, giving it the loose, documentary feel typical of rock promo art from the era.
Printed copyright lines in the lower corners read “©1985 Thames Designs, Ltd.” and “©1984 Thames Records, Ltd.,” with the photo credit and print number “#3016” noted alongside. The poster was distributed by Funky Enterprises of Richmond Hill, N.Y., as indicated in small print near the bottom edge. Four clear plastic grommets are set into the corners, evidence that this piece was originally mounted or hung using reinforced eyelets rather than simple tacks or tape.
The poster shows light overall wear consistent with age and display, including minor creasing near the grommet holes and a small closed tear at one lower corner. Colors remain vivid and the surface is free of major fading, staining, or tears beyond the noted corner wear.
