Où est mon garçon errant ce soir by Eric Rohman, 1923

Set against a blazing yellow background, this 1923 poster features a hilarious caricature of silent film comedian Ben Turpin. The artist, Rohman, has exaggerated Turpin's famous cross-eyed stare and bushy mustache, giving him a comically large head and a tiny neck topped with a bright orange bow tie. The bold, black Swedish typography below—reading 'Dåraktiga karlar' (Foolish Men)—advertises a Mack Sennett parody film, capturing the slapstick energy of the era with a touch of Art Deco flair. It’s a vibrant piece of cinema history that perfectly encapsulates the visual humor of the 1920s.
