ESB Storage Case Artwork
Another piece of original artwork that captures many different moments and worlds from The Empire Strikes Back. As you can see, there is no logo present. Much of this kind of artwork utilized mechanical reproductions of the logos so that the lines would be crisp and each would conform to a standard. Not to mention the fact that drawing them by hand would be tedious and difficult. In fact, many of the logos were available on sheets and in different sizes much like clip-art. Also, many of the silver borders were also produced in this fashion. This case art is approximately 18" x 24".

This exact piece of artwork can be seen in the Topps Galaxy II card series. It is seen above on the reverse side of card #196.
