CHUCK WILKINSON Love in a Cold Climate, 1980

The large advertisement poster created by Mobil for the promotion of Nancy Mitford's Love in a Cold Climate was produced around 1980, coinciding with the U.S. broadcast of the British television adaptation on Masterpiece Theatre. This eight-part miniseries, adapted by Simon Raven and starring Judi Dench, aired on PBS beginning March 28, 1980. ​

The poster features an illustration by Chuck Wilkinson, depicting elegantly dressed couples dancing in a lavish ballroom, encapsulating the aristocratic setting of the series. It was printed by Gips + Balkind + Associates and measures approximately 30 x 46 inches. ​

This promotional piece is a collectible artifact reflecting the collaboration between British literary adaptations and American public broadcasting during that era.​
