About the Item

Original poster: QUAND LE RIRE ETAIT ROI. ( When Laughter Was King.) Artist: Boris Grinsson. French smaller format vintage movie comedy printed in 1960. Archival linen backed in very good condition, ready to frame. The original fold marks were touched up during linen backing. A small tear at the center was repaired during linen backing. It presents itself in very fine condition … we are just more critical. Great colors, bright and vibrant. This vintage movie poster has the list of the following entertainers: Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Buster Keaton, Harry Langdon, Ben Turpin, Fatty Arbuckle, Wallace Beery, Mabel Norman, Gloria Swanson, The Keystone Cops, Charlie Chase, Edgar Kennedy, The Sennett Girls, etc. The French version of the poster has all the comic personalities drawn rather than the photographic method normally used in the USA and makes this vintage movie poster much more fun. Transport yourself back to the golden age of French culture with this spectacular original vintage poster for "Quand le Rire Était Roi," radiating Parisian charm and timeless laughter! This piece is more than just art—it’s a piece of history, a celebration of joy, and an ode to when laughter indeed ruled the world!
