Description

Under the German Yoke (Clarendon Film, 1915). Folded, Fine/Very Fine. British Six Sheet (77" X 89.25").
This exceedingly rare British six sheet makes its debut appearance at Heritage Auctions. The film is a propagandistic World War I drama in which British troops come to the rescue of a local mayor, who is on the verge of execution by German soldiers in retaliation for his daughter shooting a Prussian captain. Glorious stone lithography renders the climactic scene in rich and radiant color on this imposing four-panel poster. The vibrancy is entirely undiminished in spite of 110 years of age, and the poster is truly a sight to behold. There is expected even age toning to the borders and some splits and chipping along the folds. This would be a wonderful addition to any historical collection or archive.
