Verpleegster Marjorie
1922
Silent film star Mary Miles Minter gets a glamorous makeover in this 1922 Swedish movie poster, depicted as a nurse with bright orange curls peeking out from under a crisp white cap. Designed by Eric Rohman in a bold Art Deco style, the artwork promotes the comedy 'Fröken Inkognito' (Miss Incognito), known in English as 'Nurse Marjorie'. The film was directed by William Desmond Taylor, a figure who would soon become the center of one of Hollywood's most infamous unsolved murder mysteries. The poster's vivid red lettering and stylized portrait perfectly capture the jazz-age flair that made Minter a massive heartthrob of the era.
