The Night Club
1926
Imagine a giant top hat so massive that a squad of flappers in orange outfits are treating it like a mountain to climb! This vibrant Swedish poster for the 1926 silent comedy 'The Night Club' features the intense eyes of star Raymond Griffith peeking out from under the brim. It's a perfect snapshot of the Roaring Twenties, capturing the energy of Art Deco design with its bold geometry and playful composition. Griffith was a famous 'dandy' character in silent films, but sadly, a childhood throat injury that left him with a whispery voice meant his career ended abruptly when sound films arrived.
