UK Quad poster art sizes
You may notice phrases like ‘UK Quad’ or ‘British Quad’ and ‘Lobby card’ or ‘UK Front of House’ on websites selling these art pieces. These refer to the poster size - with the lobby and front of house poster sizes indicating that the film or musical poster was placed in cinema foyers.

Sizes, backing and framing
So what do you need to know about vintage movie art pieces?
- you’ll often see the popular UK Quad size mentioned which measures a standard 30" x 40". These dimensions are also called Quad Crown or Crown Quad
- it’s best to get your poster linen-backed to help guarantee durability and flexibility. It will also look more professional if you decide to frame it. Otherwise, the poster may get damaged if it stays as loose, folded poster art.
Some experts say that linen-backing can add to investment value too
- framing. This can enhance poster appearance and help protect your art. If you get the film artwork framed – make sure that the mounting and backing boards and other products used in the framing process are acid-free.
