숄더 암즈 by Eric Rohman, 1919

This vibrant Swedish poster for Charlie Chaplin's 1918 silent film 'Shoulder Arms' (titled 'På Axel Gevär!' here) captures the comedian's iconic charm with a cheeky wink and his signature bowler hat. Designed by Eric Rohman in a bold Art Deco style, the image features Chaplin playfully balancing a rifle amidst explosive red starbursts, perfectly blending the grim reality of World War I with his trademark slapstick humor. It remains a fantastic example of early 20th-century movie marketing that promised audiences a hilarious, if slightly patriotic, take on trench warfare.
