Alas
1929
This striking Swedish poster for the silent film classic *Wings* (titled *Vingarna* here) perfectly captures the thrill of early aviation with a massive black eagle soaring through bold blue and orange skies. Designed by Eric Rohman in a dynamic Art Deco style, a biplane is cleverly fused right into the bird's body, symbolizing the freedom of flight. The poster advertises a cast featuring a young Gary Cooper and the famous 'It Girl' Clara Bow. Fun fact: *Wings* holds a special place in history as the very first film to ever win the Academy Award for Best Picture!
