A Gallery selling the 1st. ever casting storyboards by John McLusky. See the imagined image for James Bond 007, and place Sean Connery face in the frames. A pretty good match.

I saw Dr. No at a local movie theater on the recommendation my my girlfriend's father a ghostwriter for Walter Winchell in the summer of 1962.  Needles o say it was great!!!!All though my teens I waited for new 007 movies. This is a fun bit of history. See below details. 

As the casting agent for Amazon MGM's Bond, Nina Gold, announced this week she started screen-tests for the new 007, we displayed two legendary artworks in our London gallery that tell the story of how the first James Bond was cast. Four years before the first Bond film, Ian Fleming sent the artist John McLusky this drawing, saying it was how he imagined 007: John McLusky thought Fleming's idea was too feminine and sent back his own idea. John McLusky's idea won and was published in a comic strip - the first time the world saw the face of James Bond. Sean Connery's agent saw John McLusky's drawings and noticed how much he looked like Bond, which is why Sean Connery auditioned and got the part. Our set of 824 drawings from 1958-1966 is for sale for $1.9M (£1.4M). We are inviting Amazon's producers and casting agents to the gallery to see the creator of James Bond - Ian Fleming's ideas of how Bond should look: John McLusky worked personally with Ian Fleming to illustrate: Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, Diamonds Are Forever, From Russia, with Love, Dr. No, Goldfinger, From a View to a Kill, For Your Eyes Only, Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, You Only Live Twice. The drawings were used as storyboards for the film Dr. No.: I placed one drawing from each book/film in the collection of The Academy (Oscars): https://academycollection.org/web/arena/search#/?q=john+mclusky The drawings include the first ever images of Bond in an Aston Martin: This drawing of Bond in the DBIII is in The Academy: John McLusky's 824 original drawings and 1,600 original prints from 1958-1964 - visually tell the story of every written word of Ian Fleming's Bond. They are the oldest visual history of James Bond, visually mapping how Ian Fleming saw the world's most famous spy - information we have invited the the creators of the new James Bond to come and see.
