About this artwork

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.

It is a fitting choice for anyone who enjoys the graphic character of early twentieth-century poster design and the beginnings of film promotion.
