About the Item
The 1930 original poster by W. Langdon Kihn for the Icelandic Millennial Celebration, commissioned by Cunard Line, is a historical piece promoting travel to Iceland during its millennial celebrations, marking 1,000 years since the settlement of the island. This poster was part of a broader effort to celebrate Icelandic culture and history while highlighting Cunard Line’s role in facilitating travel to unique destinations.
Created during an era when steamship travel symbolized both luxury and adventure, this poster aimed to attract travelers by showcasing Iceland as a remote and culturally significant destination. The millennial celebrations centered on Iceland’s Viking heritage and its enduring legacy, appealing to those with a fascination for history and exploration. Cunard Line positioned itself as the gateway to this once-in-a-lifetime event, offering passengers the opportunity to experience Iceland’s historical significance firsthand.
Langdon Kihn’s work reflects the early 20th century’s growing emphasis on cultural tourism, catering to affluent travelers seeking enriching and unique experiences. By linking the millennial celebration to Cunard’s prestigious services, the poster effectively marketed Iceland as a must-visit destination for those with a taste for adventure and historical discovery.
Today, the poster is regarded as an important piece of travel advertising and a testament to the role of steamship lines in promoting international tourism during the interwar period. It holds historical value as a reflection of the era’s fascination with cultural heritage and global exploration.

'For Heaven's Sake' Original Vintage Movie Poster by Eric Rohman, Swedish, 1926
By Eric Rohman
Located in Devon, GB
Printed in stunning stone lithography, this extremely rare poster was designed by prolific poster artist Eric Rohman for the original Swedish release of the action-packed 1926 American silent comedy 'For Heaven's Sake,' starring Harold Lloyd - one of the biggest stars of the silent era. After several years at Pathé, Lloyd made his debut at Paramount with this delightful slapstick classic, in which his trademark go-getting 'glasses' character appears as Uptown Boy J. Harold Manners, a millionaire playboy who falls for a Downtown Girl. With a dazzling finale featuring a double-decker bus careering through the city streets, the comedy of thrills was one of Lloyd's most successful films and the 12th highest grossing film of the silent era.
Rohman's whimsical lunar poster design was inspired by a charming scene in which Harold woos his Downtown Girl (Jobyna Ralston) by the romantic light of a crescent moon - which is then revealed to be part of a neon sign for Crescent Laundry! Lushly printed in lapis blue, black and a contrasting orange, the enchanting Art Deco style artwork pictures the loved up...
