RUSSIAN FILM POSTERS 1900

This volume, based on rarely seen Russian archives, traces the history of the silent film poster in Russia, starting with a poster d esigned by Paul Assaturov (Stenka Razin, 1908) in the style of ancient naïve Russian imagery to the latest advertise- ment for a sil ent movie by Yuri Pimenov from 1934. Full-page reproductions of 161 Russian silent film posters are presented here in chronological order - from the very beginning of the 20th century until the 1930s.
