De Poot van de Kat by Eric Rohman, 1934

Harold Lloyd's iconic round glasses get top billing in this snappy 1934 Swedish movie poster for *The Cat's Paw* (titled *Syndabocken* here). Artist Eric Rothman uses bold Art Deco geometry and a striking yellow-and-red palette to frame the silent film star's famous grin. A clever speech bubble jokes 'New! New! New! Everything except THESE,' pointing to the specs that made Lloyd a legend. It's a brilliant piece of vintage marketing that proves you don't need to say much when you have a recognizable face—and a great pair of glasses.
