This is an original Italian poster for the film Cabiria, made in 1914. It was designed by Leopoldo Metlicovitz, an Italian painter, illustrator and poster designer. As a piece of film advertising, it belongs to the tradition of Italian cinema posters, where the artist's job was to draw an audience in with a single striking image. It is a fitting choice for anyone who enjoys the graphic character of early twentieth-century poster design and the beginnings of film promotion.
