About the Item

Orignial Skarby Sultana vintage poster. A.k.a.The Story of Little Much. Archival linen-backed Very good condition A. Bright and vibrant, lithograph, no stains, no damage, no repairs, no paper loss. 1/16" repair to right edge laid down again during linen backing. Skarby Sultana / The Story of Little Muck. 1954. “The Story of Little Muck” was an East German film directed by Wolfgang Staudte, adapted from the 19th century fairy tale, “Little Muck.” The rags-to-riches tale traces the life of Muck, a Middle Eastern artisan with a hunchback who faces discrimination—until a pair of magic boots and staff help him find happiness and respect. Bowbelski shows us Muck at the height of his game with his enchanted accessories atop an elephant. Bowbelski himself had a tumultuous life: born in Vladivostok, he studied architecture and fine art in Warsaw before becoming a partner at a graphic design firm that produced advertising posters. In 1940, he was arrested in Warsaw and deported to Auschwitz. He worked for the SS as a blacksmith, furniture maker, landscape painter, and glass artist. In 1942, he was released from the camp; his works are now included in the collections of the Wilanow Poster Museum, the History Museum of the Polish Revolutionary Movement, and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. Ref: Polnische Filmplakat, p.8; Polish Film, 312 This is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.
