Early cinema posters are distinguished by their vivid color lithography and astonishing range of oversized formats. This exhibition includes posters—selected from a recent acquisition from the renowned collection of Dutch film distributor Jean Desmet (1875–1956)—for American, British, German, French, and Italian films dating from 1912 to 1914.

Organized by Ron Magliozzi, Assistant Curator, Department of Film.
