Romola
1924
Featuring the glamorous Gish sisters, Lillian and Dorothy, in profile, this striking 1924 Swedish movie poster for the silent film *Romola* showcases elaborate Renaissance-style headdresses that hint at the story's Florentine setting. The bold red and brown color palette, combined with the geometric shield bearing their names, is a perfect example of Art Deco design meeting Hollywood promotion. It's a fascinating piece of cinema history advertising a film directed by Henry King and starring Ronald Colman, based on George Eliot's famous novel about life in 15th-century Florence.
