This is a rare opportunity to own this highly sought-after photograph inspired by the framed version featured at the fictional Overlook Hotel in The Shining! These reproduction memorabilia props are professionally created using quality materials for added authenticity and so are perfect for on-screen or display use.
Jack Torrance - “Jack Nicholson”
Important Note: This iconic photograph has been digitally remastered and professionally printed using a photographic printing laboratory. The original image has out-of-focus areas as well as damage to the print, we have retouched the damaged areas but kept the remainder of the image authentic to the original. This image features the entire original photograph and measures approx. 304mm x 244mm, whereas the framed version in the movie has a smaller window mount that visibly cuts out a few guests seen here on either side. This makes it ideal to help create an accurate framed display as creating a mount and frame to the exact size seen in the film close-ups should be simple.
Trivia: Alcohol consumption was a federal crime between 1919 and 1933. The year Jack appears to have photographed for the last scene (1921), and the year President Warren G. Harding (in the book) ordered a case of Coors Beer from the bar (1922) would have occurred during Prohibition. Alcohol consumption was never a federal crime in the US. The Volstead Act prohibited "the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors". Consumption was never a crime, only a myth. Also, in the photograph, not one person is holding a drink. Indeed, one may even assume that liquors were never purchased at the Overlook during these years, but may have been included as a sort of part of membership, a type of end-around used even today in dry counties. After all, Lloyd clearly informs Jack that his "money is no good here."
