Artist context
About Roger Soubie
Born
1898
Died
1984
Nationality
French
Roger Soubie (1898–1984) was a French poster artist and illustrator best known for cinema advertising. French Wikipedia describes him as one of France's most prolific film-poster designers and credits him with nearly 2,000 designs, although that total is not independently established by the other collected sources. Library authority records reinforce his association with film posters: VIAF links Soubie to BnF catalogue records for posters connected with titles including An American in Paris, Gone with the Wind, Ben-Hur, and Captains Courageous. His documented work belongs primarily to the history of twentieth-century French commercial graphic art; the available sources do not associate him securely with a named fine-art movement. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Soubie's name on vintage movie posters and related works on paper. Date, dimensions, condition, inscriptions, edition details, and attribution can help distinguish one poster issue or example from another.

Common works and media
Cinema posters are Roger Soubie's clearest documented body of work. Authority records associate him with posters for numerous films, while auction data may classify relevant material more broadly as works on paper, prints, fine art, or paintings. A precise appraisal should identify the film title, date or issue, dimensions, inscriptions, edition information, condition, and attribution rather than relying only on the artist name.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's matched public-auction index reports 76 records, including 53 with recorded prices, across 2010–2026, with a median realized result around $1,063. These figures describe the matched dataset rather than every Soubie transaction and should not be treated as a price prediction. Useful comparisons consider medium, dimensions, date, film title or subject, condition and restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition details, provenance, attribution confidence, and recent comparable public sales. The index also warns that fees may be reported inconsistently and that private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. A qualified appraisal should examine the physical object and select comparables that match its specific characteristics.

Appraisal caveats
- Public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal; private sales, incomplete feeds, and attribution changes may be absent (https://appraisily.com/artist/roger-soubie/).
- Reported auction totals may treat buyer premiums and fees differently, so comparisons should use consistent price definitions when possible (https://appraisily.com/artist/roger-soubie/).
- The supplied market categories are broad and do not establish that every listed work type is equally representative of Soubie's market.
