1962 cover-up for Bond girl
Collectibles aplenty: Whyte’s history auction in Dublin
A 1962 poster for the first James Bond movie, Dr No, with a dress hand-painted over the original bikini-clad image of Ursula Andress, and described by the auctioneers as “the dying vestige of Irish censorship” (€600-€800).
Viewing continues today, until 5pm, at Whyte’s, Molesworth Street, Dublin for the year’s first, and much-anticipated, sale of historical memorabilia. The auction, with more than 900 lots, takes place tomorrow, Sunday, in the nearby Freemasons’ Hall.
