About 1920s film posters
Posters of the 1920s were usually printed by stone lithography, giving rich, layered colour. Studio art departments produced several poster styles for each release to appeal to different audiences. The original dates from 1921. Many 1920s films are now in the public domain in the United States. Classic Hollywood posters were painted by studio art departments around the stars of the day.
Styling this 1920s movie poster
Red and orange tones give this 1920s movie poster a vibrant character that holds a room. Choose 24×36″ to make “Cleopatra Theda Bara” the focal point above a console, or 11×14″ to 16×20″ for a bedside or hallway wall. Finish “Cleopatra Theda Bara” with a thin white or oak frame: its red and orange palette stands out against warm neutrals and charcoal. For a gallery wall, pair “Cleopatra Theda Bara” with two or three smaller prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart.
