AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Collectible Laserdisc titled "The Rose," shown here in its Widescreen edition. The cover features a close-up color photograph of actress and singer Bette Midler on stage, microphone in hand, with a red background evoking a concert atmosphere. A second visual at the top of the jacket shows a more intimate, black-and-white scene with Bette Midler and Alan Bates, their names clearly inscribed at the top of the cover. The title "The Rose" is printed large, in stylized white letters, accompanied by a graphic red rose. The "LaserDisc" logo is present in the lower left corner, unambiguously identifying the format.

The jacket is protected by its original plastic film, which shows reflections and some visible creases on the surface, indicating prolonged protection. The overall appearance of the visual adopts the typical graphic codes of the 1980s, with dynamic layout and contrasting colors. The upper edge bears the inscription "WIDESCREEN EDITION," confirming a wide format, sought after by Laserdisc enthusiasts.

Also visible in the lower right corner is the logo of a publisher or distributor (JADE), typical of vintage Laserdisc editions. No other accessories or inserts are visible in this image; only the front of the jacket is shown. The background of the photo, consisting of a varnished wooden cabinet and old books, highlights the collectible aspect of the item.

This Laserdisc, by its format, illustrated jacket, and precise markings, is aimed at those seeking a retro video medium, emblematic of the pre-DVD era. The apparent condition of the cover, under plastic film, suggests good preservation, with no major visible defects on the presented side.

The object stands out with its iconic graphic design from the musical film "The Rose" starring Bette Midler. It is a typical piece for enthusiasts of vintage video media and 80s cinema, particularly for those who wish to rediscover the original audiovisual experience of the Laserdisc.
