작은 반란군 by Eric Rohman, 1936

This vibrant Swedish poster for the 1935 film 'The Littlest Rebel' (titled 'Silla Rebellen' here) puts child superstar Shirley Temple front and center. Dressed in a frilly purple gown with red trim, she looks back over her shoulder with a confident gaze that hints at her character's spunky nature. Beneath her oversized figure, purple silhouettes of Civil War soldiers on horseback and a cannon play out the historical drama, creating a fun contrast between serious history and childhood innocence. Released during the Great Depression, Temple's films were a massive comfort to audiences, and this Art Deco-style illustration perfectly captures her role as a tiny beacon of hope.
