Austrian Poster (50" x 73"); Stone Lithograph ;
Very Fine+ on Paper; Artwork by Sascha
Nero-Film, 1929

This stunning Austrian poster is the only known surviving example. It beautifully demonstrates pre-War lithography. Louise Brooks created a sensation with her striking portrayal of the rise and fall of a naive yet amoral young woman. This gorgeous poster features the captivating Lulu (played by Louise Brooks) in the corner, surrounded 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. There is also a small separation at the top of the vertical fold, along with a few tiny creases and a minor edge tear. The vibrant colors, especially the bold shade of purple, are best appreciated in person. This one-of-a-kind poster would make a striking addition to any serious collection, as Louise Brooks remains 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.
