About the Item

Original British film poster for Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius 1989. This poster was created for a documentary by David Gill, Kevin Brownlow and Raul Moreno. It was the final documentary in the series which Brownlow produced as a tribute to silent films. This television documentary was released in two parts and shown on the 13th and 20th January 1990. The poster was printed in 1989 for the January release. As this documentary only had one showing very few posters were printed. The artwork on this poster is by Tom Eckersley (1914-1997). Eckersley was a British artist who designed posters for many important clients, including Shell, The General Post Office and the BBC. During the World War II Eckersley worked as a cartographer in the RAF and produced a series of 'War Effort' posters. He was head of the Graphic Design Department at the London College of Printing from 1958-1977, and became a Royal Designer for Industry in 1963. This poster is unfolded and in near mint condition it would be shipped rolled in a very strong tube and sent by Federal Express.

'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...
