Austrian Poster (49.75" x 73"); Stone Lithograph
Very Fine+ on Paper; Artwork by Sascha
Nero-Film, 1929

This stunning Austrian poster is the only known surviving copy. It exemplifies pre-War lithography beautifully.

Louise Brooks created a sensation with her stunning portrayal of the rise and eventual downfall of a naive yet amoral young woman. This beautiful poster features the captivating Lulu (played by Louise Brooks) in the corner, pursued by admirers. It is in excellent condition, printed on two sheets and professionally backed onto thin Japanese paper. The poster shows only a small tear on the left edge, a chip on the border, and some light wear from folding. Additionally, there is a small separation at the top of the vertical fold, along with a few small creases and a tiny edge tear. The vibrant colors, particularly the striking shade of purple, are best appreciated in person. This unique poster would be a standout addition to any serious collection, as Louise Brooks continues to be highly sought after by collectors worldwide.

"Pandora's Box" is a classic film from 1929, directed by the acclaimed G.W. Pabst. The movie tells a compelling story about the rise and fall of Lulu, a captivating character played by the legendary Louise Brooks. Her performance exemplifies expressionist acting, solidifying her status as a screen icon and the ultimate flapper of the Roaring Twenties.
